New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis was charged with four felonies and a misdemeanor by Pittsburgh police Thursday night stemming from his alleged involvement in a street altercation over the weekend that witnesses say left two men unconscious.
According to police, a 22-year-old man from Kittanning, Pennsylvania, was walking on a street when he spotted someone who resembled Revis. The man confronted Revis, who acknowledged his identity. At that point, the man began recording video on his cellphone and continued to follow the NFL star.
“At some point, Revis snatched the cellphone away and attempted to delete the video,” the police statement said.
According to the police statement, Revis tossed the cellphone on the street. A 21-year-old man from Ross Township, Pennsylvania, helped retrieve it. An argument ensued. An unidentified man came to help Revis. The other men told police they “were punched, then remember waking up to talk to police.”
Officers viewed the cellphone video at the scene and confirmed the person in it was Revis.
Police charged Revis with two felony counts of aggravated assault, one felony count each of robbery and conspiracy, and a misdemeanor count of terroristic threats.
