OU football: District Attorney declines charges against OU running back Joe Mixon

NORMAN — The Cleveland County District Attorneys office has declined to press charges against OU running back Joe Mixon after he allegedly threw a parking citation at a parking attendant on campus Tuesday.

"The situation absolutely does not warrant criminal charges," said District Attorney Greg Mashburn.

Mixon's attorney, Blake Johnson, said at 9:30 Tuesday morning, Mixon became frustrated with a parking citation and ripped up the ticket in front of the attendant.

In a partial police report released Friday, the parking attendant claimed a simple assault occurred when Mixon threw the parking citation in the attendant's face.
