Bengals RB Joe Mixon Re-Charged With Aggravated Menacing

Bengals running back Joe Mixon is once again facing charges of misdemeanor aggravated menacing, Cincinnati police told The Cincinnati Enquirer on Friday.

Mixon was initially charged Feb. 2 for a road rage incident in which the Bengals running back allegedly pointed a gun at a woman in a threatening manner. Charges were dismissed Feb. 3, but the police department left the door open to re-charge Mixon once a full investigation was conducted.

Charges against Mixon were refiled Friday, and he is scheduled to appear in court April 19.

“The decision was reached following the discovery of new evidence during the investigative process,” the Cincinnati police said. “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 Bengals also released a statement on the charges Mixon is facing to the Enquirer.

“The Club is aware misdemeanor charges have been raised against Joe Mixon. The Club is monitoring the situation and will not comment further at this time.”
