On August 1, 2020, Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon was charged with pointing a gun at a woman in an incident that occurred in July. The incident, which occurred outside of a nightclub in Cincinnati, Ohio, resulted in Mixon being charged with aggravated menacing, a first-degree misdemeanor.
According to the police report, the woman alleged that Mixon pointed a gun at her after an argument. The woman also stated that Mixon had been drinking and was “very aggressive” during the incident. Mixon has denied the allegations and has stated that he was only trying to protect himself.
The incident has caused a stir in the NFL community, as many are questioning how the league will handle the situation.

The Bengals have also yet to comment on the incident, but it is likely that they will take some sort of action against Mixon.
The incident is a reminder of the importance of responsible gun ownership and the need for people to be aware of their surroundings when in public places. It is also a reminder that even professional athletes are not immune to criminal charges and must be held accountable for their actions.
