NFL player Joe Mixon was recently found not guilty of aggravated menacing charges after being accused of pointing a weapon at a woman earlier this year in Cincinnati. On Thursday, Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Gwen Bender found that the Cincinnati Bengals running back was not guilty of the charges after a careful review of the evidence presented in the trial.
The incident occurred when Joe was on his way to Bengals’ Paycor Stadium to join his team for a road playoff game against the Buffalo Bills. Police authorities filed charges against Mixon on April 7 after an initial charge was dismissed in early February.
Following the verdict, the Cincinnati Bengals released a statement in support of Joe Mixon. They said, “Since he joined the organization in 2017, Joe Mixon has been a valuable part of the Cincinnati Bengals. Joe has been a top-level running back with multiple 1000-yard rushing seasons, and he has been an even better teammate enjoying real popularity among his peers. During the past seven years, Joe has been active with the community, and his constant smile and energy have made him a favorite among thousands of fans. The organization is pleased that this matter is now behind everyone, and we look forward to an exciting season with Joe being an important part of the football team.”
This positive outcome is great news for Mixon and the Bengals. Last season, Joe rushed for 5,378 yards and 40 touchdowns while adding 231 catches for 1,763 yards and 10 scores. We can only expect bigger and better things from Joe in the upcoming season.
