VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — Tennessee Titans wide receiver Justin Hunter was granted bond by a Virginia judge on Tuesday, a day after turning himself into authorities in his hometown on a charge of malicious wounding.
The charge stems from a bar fight in the oceanfront resort area of Virginia Beach during the July Fourth weekend.
Commonwealth's Attorney Wendy Alexander said Hunter started the fight on July 3 when he interrupted a conversation a man was having with someone else. After words were exchanged, Hunter punched the man in the face twice, she said. Alexander said a melee ensued, and multiple people began fighting.
