APRIL 19: The Bengals running back pleaded not guilty to the charge Wednesday in Hamilton County Municipal Court, according to the Associated Press. A judge ordered Mixon have no contact with the woman.
APRIL 7: Joe Mixon will end up facing a misdemeanor charge of aggravated menacing. After the charge was dropped in February, Sharon Coolidge and Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer report Mixon will be recharged in connection with a January road-rage incident.
The Bengals running back allegedly pointed a gun at a woman during a traffic encounter, which occurred before the team was to gather at Paycor Stadium before departing for its divisional-round game in Buffalo. Mixon must appear in court April 19.
“This decision was reached following the discovery of new evidence during the investigative process,” a statement from Cincinnati police said, via the Enquirer. The Bengals released a statement indicating they are aware of the charge, Conway tweets.
Mixon, 26, allegedly pointed a gun at a woman at 12:49pm on Jan. 21 in downtown Cincinnati. While police initially dropped the charge in February, the door remained open to it being refiled upon further review. The woman who submitted the complaint indicated she will cooperate with authorities, Coolidge and Conway add.
The Bengals took some heat back in 2017 when they selected Mixon, who had been suspended from Oklahoma’s team for punching a woman in the face. A woman shoved and slapped Mixon during a July 2014 dispute at a restaurant; Mixon’s punch broke four bones in the woman’s face. The Sooners suspended Mixon for the 2014 season, but he returned and emerged on the draft radar after two productive seasons. The Bengals took Mixon in the second round; he has been the team’s starting running back for most of his career.
Mixon agreed to a deferred sentence in connection with the assault, undergoing counseling and performing community service. As a result, no conviction appears on his record. Since the incident occurred before Mixon entered the NFL, he was not suspended. Mixon could be suspended for the January incident, however, regardless of the case’s outcome.
The Bengals, who gave Mixon a $12MM-per-year extension in 2020, have not committed to keeping him around for a seventh season. The team made an offer to retain Samaje Perine, but Mixon’s longtime backup opted to sign with the Broncos. But Cincinnati can save $10MM by designating Mixon as a post-June 1 cut. The Pro Bowler is due a $9.4MM base salary in 2023. Mixon’s contract runs through the 2024 season.
What Fun
Hood af. Last time just to remind you he made unwanted advances towards a young woman, homophobic remarks towards her associate, then knocked the woman unconscious and claimed she used a special word to incite the violence.
Joe Mixon is just a scumbag, “hood af” is the dumbest generalization, scumbags in the suburbs and gated communities too
Ya this just guy screams ‘HOA af’
That’s not at all what happened. He was celebrating his 18th bday at a local restaurant/bar in Norman when a girl, who had been kicked out of another college in texas for racial assault accusations (picking fights with black women) started berating him and his friends with racial slurs starting @ 10pm. She even pushed and shoved him a number of times while telling him and his party to leave the bar. She was obviously drunk. After over two hours of this, and them trying to ignore her, she shoved him again and he finally slugged her. The bar’s security video proved all of that. Since it happened shortly after midnight, he had technically just turned 18 so therefore it was considered a felony instead of a misdemeanor. I’m not in any way advocating hitting women, nor do I understand why the manager didn’t get involved earlier, just saying get the facts straight.
He called her friend a gay slur after she refused to go home with him then punched her and broke 4 bones in her face and knocked her out. I’d love to find the reports that she was kicked out of a school for a ‘racial attack’ whatever that is. Care to share?
No, he didn’t, but believe what you want. That was her excuse for slapping him.
Correction: I confused two stories. It wasn’t school she was kicked out of. From thebobchronicles.com: “This devil of a dummy has a criminal record; she’s not this saint that the mainstream media is portraying her to be. She was fresh out of jail drunk and high at the time of the incident for felony possession of weed and has a warrant out for her arrest for violating her probation. This devil was kicked out of multiple OU social groups, including a sorority, which made her one of the most hated in the school according to a campus poll.” link to thebobchronicles.com
Credible news reports should always start with “this devil of a dummy”. Quit reading as soon as I saw that, but thanks for posting.
Good thing I wasn’t looking for your validation, but thanks for dropping by.
Epic burn, thanks bro, or is it “devil of a dummy”?
Oh wow super credible source. Here’s bleacher report’s account of what happened link to syndication.bleacherreport.com
Not only is he a violent thug he’s a homophobic bigot. A homophobic bigot with a history of abusing women, and race shaming his victim who ended up having reconstructive surgery multiple times who he was forced to settle a lawsuit with. Making her the most hated person in school after he broke her face and called her friend a f*got all because she refused to go home with him, as the tape clearly shows.
You should seriously be ashamed of yourself for even bringing this garbage take in here. Joe mixon would annihilate the women closest in your life without a second thought then ruin their lives through a willing and complicit media. You don’t think they’d be all over it if this lady was running klan meetings? The most race baiting click hungry press in the world just ignores the fact that this woman is an unrepentant bigot? Use your head
Spare me your high-minded, dismissive drivel, hypotheticals and assumptions. Did you ask me to share just so could immediately dismiss it? You obviously already had your mind made up about him regardless of what evidence was presented so I don’t get why you even asked. I know it’s asking a lot here but maybe you should actually read the entire article instead of just impetuously replying and getting butthurt. I’ll trust a local source in regards to the story as opposed to the narrative some random national media outlet is pushing, but thanks anyway.
That wasn’t a source that was a joke and you are applauding and enabling violence towards women. Acknowledge he told her to come home with him, called her friend a homophobic slur, she slapped and pushed him, then he rearranged the bones in her face. Do it
Sure I am. Whatever helps you sleep at night.
ghostrobot: He’s “hood af”.
Also ghostrobot: You should be ashamed of yourself.
Thank you, but I’ll consider the source. We’re done here.
Ya back to the bob chronicles w ya lol
The whole family is kinda messed up, sister’s boyfriend shot a kid here in Northern Kentucky (on Joe Mixon’s property) and she’s up for charges of tampering with evidence, also she didn’t show up for court from her last run-in with the law.
Cool you or I would be arrested for failure to disclose unrealized crypto gainz
Not in KY, it was in Ohio
The irony is the thing you posted says that Mixon used the homophobic slur. Doesn’t really help you.
After the homophobic slur, per your source, is when she approached him. So how was he not the instigator here?
Also, a woman slapping you makes you reactionary enough to punch a woman? Kind of speaks to the type of person he was at the time. It also states due to the punch, she hit a table and broke her jaw, something he was responsible for.
You can make all the claims you want but essentially all it takes is calling him a racial slur and a slap to get him to react. Except that’s not the case as joe Mixon points a gun at someone in the street for less. At worst she also used the racial slur as there was no contact.
At a certain point, you have to take responsibility for your actions. Mixon pointed a gun at someone and unless they’re endangering his life, you’re going to be hard pressed to get someone to defend it.
I love the irony of this comment. “You can make all the claims you want but…” proceeds to make claims.
No one is defending his recent menacing charge at all. I’m simply pointing out the narrative about the girl he punched when was 18 (almost a decade ago) being an “innocent victim” is complete BS. It’s amazing how quickly you all dismiss a racial slur, as I’m sure no one here can relate, and dismiss the girl’s part in this. Not advocating his actions, but had she and her friend left him and his group alone, this never would’ve happened. She provoked him twice, once by blowing a smoke in his face outside of the bar and twice by calling him a racial slur multiple times inside the bar. She then called him to their table, calls him the N-word again, he calls her friend a f****t, she shoved him, slapped him and in return he punches her. So how was he the instigator here? I think Einstein’s “f**k around and find it” theory comes into play. Plus, he was barely 18. We’ve all made incredibly bad decisions at that age. Apparently he’s still making them though.
What a bozo I hate that there’s so many idiots like this in the league.
Society as a whole has thousands of young men who can’t control their rage so I’m not sure it’s reasonable to expect the NFL to be “idiot” free.
What is a man
Should make the Bengals decision to cut him easier
Cincinnati should cut this clown. He’s lost a step anyway.
Must be nice to be a star athlete and get away with everything. If any of us pull a gun on someone in traffic we’re going away for a few years. When will these 1% a$$holes face the same justice. I don’t care how much money you have if you’re a pos you deserve to rot in a cell
Something about these guys and being violent towards women. It’s quite the sight to see first person
What does that even mean?
Reading is hard
Not really, but “first person” makes it sound like he was actually there.
Also, if you pulled a gun on someone in traffic, unless you were a repeat offender, you’d likely get a misdemeanor fine for menacing, not a felony and thrown in jail “for a few years”.
Ya try telling that to the LAPD
Not really, but “first person” makes it sound like he was actually there, and we all know that’s not true.
Also, if you pulled a gun on someone in traffic, unless you were a repeat offender, you’d likely get a misdemeanor fine for menacing, not a felony and thrown in jail “for a few years”.
Sounds like a great guy.
Throw his Ghetto Ass in jail
How racist of you.
Ghettos have people of all races.
Gee, what an adorable, open-minded reply. You must be very worldly. I’m sure that’s exactly what he meant by that comment. Too bad for you the person he’s referring to isn’t “of all races”. Now piss off, cretin.
Where’s the guy who told me the bengals changed and only get ‘professional guys now’ like 3 months ago?
