Jets CB Revis facing criminal charges

Source: AFP | February 18, 2017, Saturday | Print Edition

NEW York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis is expected to be charged with criminal violations related to a Sunday street altercation in Pittsburgh that left him injured, the city’s Department of Public Safety announced on Thursday.

Police said charges pending include terroristic threats, robbery, conspiracy and aggravated assault.

ESPN reported that Blaine Jones, Revis’ attorney, has been told by Pittsburgh police that the National Football League standout will be charged, with an arrest warrant to be issued and Revis placing himself in police custody.

The incident began when two men approached Revis just before 3am, one of them recording on his cellphone as they followed Revis. Police said in a statement that Revis allegedly grabbed the phone in an attempt to delete the video, before tossing it on the road. The men then engaged in a verbal argument before another man came to Revis’ assistance.

The two men who had approached Revis, ages 22 and 21, told police they were then punched, and last remember waking up and speaking with officers.

Revis, 31, is a four-time all-pro and a former Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots.
