Recently, NFL running back Joe Mixon has been cleared of an aggravated menacing charge following a traffic dispute. The incident occurred in July of 2020 when Mixon was involved in a dispute with a woman who was driving in the same area. The woman alleged that Mixon had threatened her with a gun, but Mixon denied the accusation and stated that he was unarmed.
The incident was investigated by the Cincinnati Police Department and the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office. After a thorough investigation, the prosecutor’s office concluded that there was insufficient evidence to prove that Mixon had committed any crime. As a result, the aggravated menacing charge was dropped.
This is not the first time Mixon has been involved in a legal dispute. In 2014, he was charged with assault after punching a woman in the face. He later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge and was suspended from the University of Oklahoma football team.
Despite his past legal troubles, Mixon has continued to be successful on the football field. He has been a key contributor for the Cincinnati Bengals since being drafted in 2017, and he has been selected to two Pro Bowls.
Mixon’s case serves as an important reminder that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. While it is important to hold people accountable for their actions, it is also important to ensure that justice is served and that individuals are not wrongfully accused of crimes they did not commit.
It is unclear what the future holds for Joe Mixon, but it is clear that he has been cleared of this aggravated menacing charge and can now focus on his football career.
