Bengals running back Joe Mixon is being recharged with aggravating menacing, Cincinnati police announced Friday.
An affidavit from a woman who alleged Mixon threatened her with a gun during a road rage incident on Jan. 21 initially had been filed in Hamilton County Municipal Court.
Judge Curt Kissinger told The (Cincinnati) Enquirer on Feb. 2 that he signed off on the dismissal of the aggravated menacing charge but that prosecutors have the option of refiling the charge at a later date.
"This decision (to recharge Mixon) was reached following the discovery of new evidence during the investigative process," Cincinnati police said on Friday in a statement to the Enquirer.
