The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office has filed charges against former Patriots linebacker Willie McGinest according to a report from TMZ.
McGinest is reportedly facing one count of assault with a deadly weapon, and one count of assault by means of force likely to cause great bodily injury.
The charges each carry up to four years in prison, TMZ reported.
The charges stem from a Dec. 9 incident at a Los Angeles restaurant. Later, a video of McGinest and several others attacking a man at the restaurant surfaced.
