Johnny Manziel was formally indicted by a Dallas County grand jury, another black mark In the life of the troubled former Cleveland Browns quarterback.
The single misdemeanor domestic violence charge — which stems from an alleged incident with his former girlfriend in January — was handed down by grand jury that convened on Thursday.
The Class A misdemeanor assault charge carries a maximum of a year in jail and a $4,000 fine.
“Johnny will certainly plead ‘not guilty’ and we believe the evidence will support that plea,” Jim Darnell, the lead attorney for Manziel, said in a statement provided to USA TODAY Sports. “Out of respect for Ms. (Colleen) Crowley, we will not try the case in the press. We do, however, believe that Johnny will be acquitted at the conclusion of the case.”
