Civil Suit Against Maurkice Pouncey From 2014 Miami Incident Set For Trial

The incident that Pittsburgh Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey had during his birthday party at a Miami nightclub back in 2014 will reportedly go to trial soon.

According to Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the civil suit trial date in Miami-Dade County circuit court is set for March 6 even though law enforcement officials did not file criminal charges against Maurkice Pouncey after investigating the incident.

According to initial reports after the alleged incident happened, Riquan James, who also goes by Ricky Vasquez, claimed that Maurkice Pouncey and his twin brother Mike Pouncey, along with four bouncers, jumped him and it resulted in him having a swollen face and a chipped tooth as a result.
