Jets’ Revis charged after fight in Pittsburgh
New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis was charged with four first- degree felonies and one misdemeanour after allegedly being involved in a fight with two men last weekend.
According to a docket sheet, the 31- year- old Revis is facing two counts of aggravated assault along with charges of robbery, conspiracy to commit aggravated assault and terroristic threats – a misdemeanour – after the incident Sunday at 2: 43 a. m.
Revis’ attorney, Blaine Jones, said in a statement while the charges were still pending that Revis was “physically assaulted while at that location by a group of at least five people.”
Jones told The Associated Press that once a warrant was issued, he would arrange for Revis to turn himself in.
Police say a 22- year- old man and a 21- year- old man claimed they were punched and knocked out.
According to police, the two men regained consciousness and spoke to authorities.
Witnesses told police that the two men were unconscious for about 10 minutes.
The responding officers viewed the video on the phone and confirmed the person was Revis.
