Bengals running back Joe Mixon again faces aggravated menacing charge

CPD said they re-filed a charge of aggravated menacing on Friday. The charge is a first-degree misdemeanor and could carry a maximum sentence of 180 days, a maximum fine of $1000 and a maximum of five years of probation in Ohio. "This decision was reached following the discovery of new evidence during the investigative process," read a statement from CPD issued Friday. A spokesperson for the Cincinnati Bengals said the team is aware of the charges re-filed against Mixon, but declined to comment further. "The Club is aware misdemeanor charges have been raised against Joe Mixon," the spokesperson said on Friday. "The Club is monitoring the situation and will not comment further at this time.” Mixon briefly faced a charge of aggravated menacing that was dropped in early February; after charges were dropped, Cincinnati police said the investigator looking into Mixon's case did not follow a directive to "submit the case for a cursory review before any possible charge was filed."
