We broke the story ... the ex-TCU player was formally charged with misdemeanor assault for attacking a police officer in San Antonio Dec. 31st.
Boykin's agent, Drew Pittman, said the information -- which came straight from court documents filed on June 27th -- was incorrect ... saying, "Trevone has already agreed to terms with the authorities on a lesser charge."
But we spoke with a rep for the Bexar County Criminal District Attorney’s Office who tells us there is NO DEAL set in stone with Boykin .
