According to reports, Cincinnati Bengals star running back Joe Mixon had a warrant issued for his arrest following an incident where he pointed his gun at a woman's face.
“You should be popped in the face. I should shoot you now,” Mixon allegedly told the woman. “The police can’t get me.”
Mixon's agent Peter Schaffer told reporters that the charge will be dropped by Friday. “It was a rush to judgment, Schaffer told NFL Network. “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.”
In response to news of the warrant, the Bengals also issued a statement. “The club is aware misdemeanor charges have been raised against Joe Mixon,” the Bengals said in a statement. “The club is investigating the situation and will not comment further at this time.”
