Two days after being arrested and charged for indecency with a child—sexual contact, Barkevious Mingo has been released by the Falcons, the team announced Saturday night.
Mingo, 30, turned himself in “on his own accord in consultation with his attorney” and was released from custody after posting a $25,000 bond. The charges stem from an alleged incident that took place over the July 4th weekend of 2019 and was brought to the attention of the Arlington PD in January 2021, according to Sports Illustrated's Jon Wertheim.
SI obtained documents filed by Arlington PD pertaining to a search warrant that detail Mingo's alleged assault of a teenage boy who was a friend of Mingo's teenage family member.
