pointman Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/bengals-joe-mixon-faces-arrest-warrant-after-allegedly-pointing-firearm-at-woman/ Bengals' Joe Mixon faces arrest warrant after allegedly pointing firearm at woman Mixon is reportedly being charged with aggravated menacing Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon has an arrest warrant issued for him, per WCPO 9 News. Mixon is being charged with aggravated menacing after allegedly pointing a firearm at a woman on Jan. 21 -- the day before the Bengals defeated the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the playoffs. According to the affidavit, Mixon stated, "You should be popped in the face. I should shoot you, the police [can't] get me." In a statement provided to CBS Sports NFL Insider Josina Anderson, the Bengals said, "The club is aware misdemeanor charges have been raised against Joe Mixon. The club is investigating the situation and will not comment further at this time." Mixon's agent, Peter Schaffer, released a statement on the matter to NFL Media. "It was a rush to judgement. They're dropping the charges first thing in the morning. I really feel that police have an obligation before they file charges -- because of the damage that can be done to the person's reputation -- to do their work. They should be held to a higher standard. Because I don't play with people's lives." Back in 2014 during his time at Oklahoma, the running back punched a female student in the face and sent her to the hospital. Mixon would later accept a plea deal that included one year of probation, counseling and 100 hours of community service. He was not invited to the NFL combine because of the incident. Mixon just wrapped up his sixth season with the Bengals, who were ousted from the postseason by the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game, losing by a score of 23-20. He rushed 210 times for 814 yards and seven touchdowns in 2022, and also caught 60 passes for 441 yards and two more scores. Mixon signed a four-year extension ahead of the 2020 NFL season, and made his first Pro Bowl the following year after racking up a career high 1,519 yards from scrimmage and 16 total touchdowns. Mixon was selected by the Bengals with the No. 48 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma. The running back was considered to be a first-round talent, although he fell in the draft due to character concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Mixon obviously has a screw loose. Maccagnan would not take him-he took Marcus Maye instead. We all screamed for Mixon. He made it 8 years staying out of trouble. That is more than many of us. Where there is smoke, there is fire, regardless of whether the charges are dropped. Mixon needs to get back with his handler and try and stay out of trouble before he retires. He has already exceeded the average shelf life of a RB by a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Missed the part where it says that in the OP. my bad The charges were dropped because they were misrepresented. He didn't threaten to shoot her in the face. He said that he could break her like a pretzel. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York Mick Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Were all the charges dropped or just the gun charges or is it still open? He’s a professional football player and doesn’t need a gun to inflict harm so he could still be charged with a lesser crime?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Mart Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Per Pelissero, Schaffer says the misdemeanor charge will be dropped Friday. “It was a rush to judgement,” Pelissero tweeted, quoting Schaffer. “They’re dropping the charges first thing in the morning. I really feel that police have an obligation before they file charges — because of the damage that can be done to the person’s reputation — to do their work. They should be held to a higher standard. Because I don’t play with people’s lives.” Maybe the title of this needs to be corrected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
