Breaking down the charges against Jets CB Darrelle Revis, plus a look at the next legal steps

New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis has been charged with felonies for his alleged role in an altercation that took place in Pittsburgh last Sunday. According to a statement released by the Pittsburgh Police Department (PPD), the incident began when an unnamed 22-year old man recognized Revis while walking at around 2:30 am. He then approached Revis, who hails from nearby Aliquippa, Pa., to see if it was really Revis. Revis confirmed his identity to the man.

At that point, the encounter turned problematic.

The man took out his cell phone and started to record Revis, who promptly asked the man to stop.
