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.
