He's accused of waving a gun at a woman in January and is facing an aggravated menacing charge. The trial was scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. The judge determined the proceedings would not be allowed to be live streamed. Mixon allegedly pointed a firearm at a woman and stated, "You should be popped in the face. I should shoot you, the police can't (sic) get me," according to court documents. The offense allegedly happened the day before Cincinnati took on the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the playoffs in the 2022 season.The charges against the football player were initially dropped in February before a charge was refiled in April. "This decision was reached following the discovery of new evidence during the investigative process," read a statement from CPD.After the charge was refiled, Mixon appeared in court and pleaded not guilty.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 is not Mixon's first misdemeanor charge.
