Former USC quarterback Mark Sanchez is facing a felony charge after his physical altercation with a 69-year-old truck driver this weekend left the other man with what the prosecuting attorney described Monday as “significant and very severe” injuries.
Marion County, Ind., prosecutor Ryan Mears told reporters at a news conference Monday that the 38-year-old former NFL player and current Fox Sports analyst was being charged with a level five felony of battery involving serious bodily injury, which Mears said could result in one to six years in prison.
After a preliminary probable cause affidavit was filed by the IMPD on Saturday, Sanchez was charged with three misdemeanors — battery resulting in injury, unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle and public intoxication.
