Patriots rookie edge defender Quintayvious Hutchins has been charged with misdemeanor domestic assault and battery on a family/household member. The alleged incident took place at a Boston College dorm on Tuesday, according to Mike Toole of CBS Boston.
Hutchins pleaded not guilty in court in Newton, Mass., on Wednesday and was released. He will return to court for a hearing on a date yet to be determined.
The Patriots issued a statement on the matter, saying: “We are aware of the report involving Quintayvious Hutchins. We take these matters very seriously and are in the process of gathering additional information. We will not have further comment at this time.”
New England used the last of its nine draft picks on Hutchins, whom the team chose at No. 247 overall in the seventh round. The selection enabled Hutchins to stay in the area after a four-year playing career at Boston College.
Hutchins did not record huge production at BC, where he logged nine tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks in 43 games, but was an integral cog on special teams. A similar role may be in store for Hutchins if he makes the Patriots’ roster, though the NFL could discipline the 23-year-old at the outset of his career.
Hutchins signed his four-year rookie contract last week.
7th round pick, just cut him and be done with it, not worth the headache.
The Patriot Way
They seem to take cue from owner.
The Raiders don’t seem any better though….
Glass house? Don’t be throwin’ stones.
You’re an idiot
Is it just me or are the Patriots not only trying to take over from the Chiefs in the Playoffs but pretty much at the Police Station too? I’ll wait.
Not quintayvious
He’s no Jackmerius Tacktheratrix
Quintayvious Hutchins sounds like a name from the key and peele sketch
Pro sports logic: Coach got us to the SB, but has been caught in a massive affair w/ an NFL journalist. Try to brush it aside. Followed by 7th rounder in trouble, CUT HIM NOW!!
Same with most celebrities. Look what Chris did to Rihanna and women still pay to take pictures with him.
