Cincinnati police refile aggravated menacing charge against Joe Mixon after he allegedly pointed gun at woman

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon faces charges of aggravated menacing after he allegedly pointed a gun at a woman. Cincinnati police refiled charges against Mixon after discovering new evidence while conducting the investigation. 

The new details that led to the charge were not released.

In January, Mixon was accused of pointing a gun at a woman. Police claimed Mixon allegedly pointed the gun at a woman and said, "You should be popped in the face, I should shoot you, the police [can't] get me." An arrest warrant was filed for Mixon, who was initially charged with aggravated menacing. 

The warrant and charge were dropped after a judge dismissed the case. The incident took place a day before the Bengals played the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the playoffs. The Bengals won that contest. 

That same charge was refiled by Cincinnati police Friday. An aggravated menacing charge in Ohio is a first degree misdemeanor.

Joe Mixon investigated in March after shooting at his home

Mixon was involved in a separate police investigation after a March shooting at his home. Police opened an investigation after a teenager was shot at Mixon's home in March. The teenager was reportedly shooting nerf guns and ran onto Mixon's property. An unknown suspect allegedly started shooting a gun at the teenager from the backyard of Mixon's house. The teen was struck in the foot and went to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. 

Investigators said Mixon was spotted carrying a weapon he legally owned and registered. He was cleared by police as a suspect.

Regardless of the outcome of both investigations, Mixon could still face discipline from the NFL.
