by

A Cincinnati Bengals star will now have an old issue brought to light again. Bengals running back Joe Mixon’s aggravated menacing charge will be re-opened by the city of Cincinnati Police. The incident was filed back in February of this year. As reported, Mixon allegedly held a gun to the head of a person during a road rage incident. The Cincinnati Enquirer reported that the charges were dismissed the next day so police could continue the investigation.

The alleged incident supposedly took place on January 21st of this year. According to the statement released by the Cincinnati Police, “This decision was reached following the discovery of new evidence during the investigative process. To preserve a fair and impartial judicial process for all parties involved, no investigatory details or evidence will be disclosed outside of official court proceedings.” The Cincinnati Bengals have already publicly commented on the latest news regarding Mixon and the alleged incident.

The club is aware misdemeanor charges have been raised against Joe Mixon,” the Bengals stated in a recent release. “The club is monitoring the situation and will not comment further at this time.” As news continues to release on the matter, the Bengals are still looking into the matter. This isn’t Mixon’s first time dealing with a serious legal issue. Also in college, Mixon was seen striking a woman on video. The incident caused Mixon’s draft stock to plummet. As it was released prior to the NFL running back being selected. However, the Bengals decided to take a chance on the former Oklahoma star.

Now Mixon could be facing serious repercussions if found guilty of this alleged incident. Mixon is expected to appear in court on April 19th. If found guilty of this incident, Mixon’s only troubles may not be legal issues. The NFL and the Bengals will have to review the incident for a possible suspension from the league. However, the legal ramifications far out weight what Mixon’s future playing career will look like. For the latest breaking news regarding the NFL, stay with us here at HNHH.

Joe Mixon Investigated After Child Was Shot Near His Home: Report

by

Details regarding an incident at Joe Mixon’s residence are scarce, but outlets are delivering information in real time. The Cincinnati Bengals running back isn’t a stranger to legal trouble, but some altercation at or near his home turned the location into a crime scene. According to NBC News, yesterday (March 6), police were dispatched to the scene a little before 8:30 p.m. It was there that officers found an injured child.

The outlet further reported the unnamed minor was quickly sent to the city’s children’s hospital. The child’s injuries were also listed as non-life-threatening; however, the extent of those wounds is unclear. At the moment, speculation about the 26-year-old NFL star’s involvement in the case has run rampant as police search for answers.

A Neighbor Gives Insight

Several reports state that someone called the authorities after shots were fired at Mixon’s home. A search warrant was said to have been executed and police “were able to gather evidence that will be part of this active investigation.” A reporter for FOX 19 News tweeted: “Neighbor of Joe Mixon says shots were fired at high school teens who were playing a game of ‘NERF wars’ outside a home next door to where Mixon lives and that the shots came from his house. Unclear who fired the gun.”

Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office released a statement saying, “Our detectives will continue to review this evidence diligently and conduct interviews.” Last month, Mixon’s name and in headlines after he was accused of pointing a gun at a woman. It was also alleged that he threatened the purported victim, but later, the charges against him were dismissed. The residence in this incident is where that encounter with the woman reportedly occurred. It has been stated that the case is being reassigned, but the current status hasn’t been updated.

Who Fired The Shots?

Again, details are filtering in but seem muddled. It is unclear if Mixon was occupying the residence at the time, as is his relationship with the injured minor. Mixon has yet to release a statement about what happened, and the public awaits authorities to name a suspect.

Joe Mixon Avoids Aggravated Menacing Charge: Details

by

Earlier today, we reported on how Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon had been accused of aggravated menacing. According to reports, the running back allegedly pointed a gun at a woman on January 21st. Additionally, it was reported that he said “You should be popped in the face, I should shoot you, the police [can’t] get me.” Overall, it was quite a shocking story, especially when you consider how the alleged incident took place before the Division Round.

Subsequently, numerous people came out in defense of Mixon. For instance, his agent Peter Schaffer had quite a bit to say on the matter. “It was a rush to judgement,” Schaffer said. “I really feel that police have an obligation before they file charges — because of a 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.” Moreover, Mixon’s mom also gave some commentary on this matter. She eventually claimed that this was simply some sort of money grab.

Since this morning, Mixon has received some good news in regard to his case. According to ABC WCPO 9, Hamilton County Judge Curt Kissinger has signed a motion to dismiss the charges. Interestingly enough, it was the prosecution who opted to dismiss the charges first. Overall, they are not content with some of their evidence and are waiting to gather more information. However, they did note that should new evidence come through, they will file charges again. As it turns out, the alleged victim is still very much interested in pursuing the case.

For now, it remains to be seen if and when those charges will be refiled. No matter what, it comes as a breath of fresh air for Mixon, who was trending for all of the wrong reasons this morning. Throughout his time in Cincinnati, he has been an incredible player. He is one of those guys that the Bengals need to retain, and there is no telling what could come of this case. Stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates.
