Joe Mixon rumor.....?

@koconews want a good story? Joe Mixon punched a girl in the face inside Picklemans Cafe in Norman around 2:30am. Security footage and cops.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

7 pages already posted on this, and there eis NO CONFIRMATION that Mixon was involved, at least not during the 7 pages of comments.

[badger]

:(

Seriously, I need to aim my expectations low for everyone in college football from now on. That way when they don't get arrested but don't graduate either, I can celebrate. Halleluiah he's not another Justin Blackmon :(

[winout]

Nancy Pelosi was seen in area earlier in the day so it might be justifiable.... stay tuned.

[70sooner]

Heard the same thing, only no name was given, on the Animal, a little while ago.

Unbelievable if this is true.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Nancy Pelosi was seen in area earlier in the day so it might be justifiable.... stay tuned.You most likely meant to say a female racist republican prepper and survivalist with the dubious name of Palin tore into an aggy she stupidly thought was Mixon, so Joe's now to blame for whatever happened.

[CK Sooner]

:grumpy:

[CK Sooner]

Girl that was there said that she called him the N word and hit him first.

per twitter

[picasso]

Sounds like extra bleacher time.

[70sooner]

fwiw...I hope it's Ok to put this here, if not, I'll delete it.

Joe Mixon, University of Oklahoma running back and former Rivals.com five-star recruit, was involved in a serious altercation early this morning that led to the summoning of the Norman Police department, a source from within the Norman Police Department told SoonerScoop.com.

Norman police responded to an incident at Pickleman's Gourmet Café in Norman at 2:39 a.m. on Friday. A spokesman for Pickleman's gave no comment on the situation.

A synopsis of the report suggests aggravated assault and battery.
​ ​
Sources indicated Mixon was not arrested at the scene as officers wanted to study security footage of the incident before filing any charges. Police did receive footage of the incident today.

The incident report obtained by SoonerScoop contains limited information, as one or more juveniles is involved. A spokesman for OU is aware of the incident and issued the following statement:

"We are aware of the matter and it is under internal review."

Norman Police told SoonerScoop.com a public information officer was not available to comment on the details of the incident.

Mixon was capping off a night of celebration as Thursday was his 18th birthday.

From FB Braniacs....there are many other conflicting reports though, such as him smashing her face in where she will never look the same.

UPDATE (3:56 pm): Here is what we have from a source on the Joe Mixon situation:

1. Joe Mixon was at Pickleman’s last night. Our source was there as well.

2. Source tells us that a woman who appeared to be drunk came into Pickleman’s and starting “taking sh*t” to Joe for no apparent reason.

3. Source said Joe actually responded quite calmly to her.

4. Source said that while he (the source) was there, he never saw anyone hit anyone. Source also said that Joe never even raised his voice.

5. Source also told us that the woman involved left before he (the source) and Mixon left.

6. Another source tells us that Joe deleted his twitter account for reasons completely unrelated to this.

If something else happened, we are not able to confirm it at this time. The above notes are all we have been able to confirm.

[CK Sooner]

Big thing here is what he will be charged with if its true...if it's a felony he's gone.

[BB37]

Reported on channel 9 in OKC, must be more to it than a rumor.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Hopefully she's ok and reports of him bashing her face in are overstated.
And here I thought we'd won the offseason lottery w/ no incidents. Bah.

[70sooner]

so if she was hurt so bad, why was he not arrested? It doesn't make sense.

[birddog]

My impression of perine seems to be justified now. Unbelievable what kids are capable of ruining. Suspended for the year?

[soonergirlNeugene]

ESPN's Trav Haney is making some odd tweets relating to Mixon..

Mixon tried to leave OU "after a week," the coach told me earlier in the week. "He's a flaky kid. I bet he doesn't last the year."
https://twitter.com/TravHaneyESPN/status/492810310634704896

Bright side for Sooners: That coach said he thought less-heralded Samaje Perine could have a bigger impact than Mixon. Liked size, toughness
https://twitter.com/TravHaneyESPN/status/492812586048839680

[Mac94]

Perine is a great kid from all that I've heard here in Pville and at Hendrickson (my son goes there). I think he'll do well at OU.

[picasso]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

[picasso]

Btw, he just turned 18? Man why didn't his folks hold him back one year? I thought I was a young frosh. I had almost 2 months on Mixon.

[PhilTLL]

KFOR just reported that Mixon will be arrested when found, and that the alleged victim had multiple broken bones and was found bleeding all over the bathroom at Pickleman's.

Whether or not he ends up being charged and convicted, he needs to go. I don't think it's too much to ask that football players not be arrested under suspicion of viciously beating women.

[picasso]

Messed up.

[PhilTLL]

Nancy Pelosi was seen in area earlier in the day so it might be justifiable.... stay tuned.

Just read a phone interview with the victim on Newsok.

So if someone makes an accusation, thats good enough to kick him off the team? That's messed up!! If he beat someone down for no reason, kick him... But if thats the stance we are taking... Then every horn took a punch at me last night... Come on man!!

[olevetonahill]

[PhilTLL]

If someone makes an accusation that a football player hit a woman in the face so hard that it broke bones? Yes, that is enough. I think it's messed up that getting rid of him isn't a given. It is not that hard to avoid situations that might lead to being accused of hitting a woman in the face hard enough to break bones. That's not the same as a pot possession charge or a public intox.

Its on their front sports page... Not smart enough to provide link

[PhilTLL]

Update: In the sports segment, Bob Barry Jr. reported that Mixon's lawyer denies there is a manhunt and says Mixon will set up an interview with Norman PD.

Go to Newsok sports. Top story.

He hit the girl one time and broke her face in three places. If true he's a POS.

NORMAN — Oklahoma freshman running back Joe Mixon is being investigated by police for allegedly assaulting a female OU student at a restaurant near Campus Corner early Friday morning, his attorney Kevin Finlay said.

Norman police have confirmed an incident at Pickleman’s Gourmet Cafe, but said no arrests were made and an investigation is underway. A police incident report did not identify the suspect in the assault.

The report did, though, identify the alleged victim as Amelia Rae Molitor, a 20-year-old OU student from Euless, Texas, who spoke to The Oklahoman on Friday evening via telephone.

Molitor said she had never seen Mixon before he punched her in the face, breaking four bones. She said Mixon was “harassing” her and some of her friends at Pickleman’s before the incident.

“He punched me one time,” she said. “He broke my face in four places … my nose, my sinuses … they’re broken.”

Molitor, who spoke confidently over the protests of her mother, said she plans to take legal action against Mixon, and added that she fears the wrath of OU fans.

“That’s my big fear (the fans),” Molitor said. “I’ve been told to stay off of social media to avoid (OU fans) coming after me on there.”

Molitor said she plans to sue Mixon, in some capacity, and that she hopes the running back “goes to prison for years.”

“That’s what he deserves,” she said. “I don’t care if he’s the star running back or not.”

Mixon was among the most highly recruited prospects in the country, and his early January committment to OU was met with immense joy and excitement.

The five-star prospect from Freedom High School in Oakley, Calif., attended the Sooners’ spring game in April, and stood behind OU’s bench for much of the afternoon signing countless autographs for fans.

OU coaches have so far praised Mixon’s work ethic and attitude throughout summer workouts. Mixon — from Oakley, Calif. — arrived in Norman at the beginning of the summer.

Molitor had returned to her family home by Friday evening.

The alleged assault occurred as Mixon — who turned 18 on Thursday — was wrapping up his birthday celebrations.

Finlay, a Norman attorney, said Mixon contacted him about the incident shortly after it occurred. The attorney confirmed that Norman police had been in contact with Mixon but that his client had “not been arrested at this point.”

“We are cooperating, fully, with the police on this,” Finlay told The Oklahoman. “Joe is definitely looking forward to the truth coming out … that’s about all I can say at this time.”

When asked if Joe Mixon was his client, the attorney responded in the affirmative.

“Joe contacted me about this, that’s true,” Finlay said.

The police’s incident report reveals that an unnamed male subject assaulted a woman inside the restaurant. The report states that Molitor suffered “apparent broken bones” following the incident.

“A female was hit in the face by a male subject — (the subject) is gone — she is in the bathroom … she is (conscious) and she is intoxicated … She is bleeding from the mouth … no difficulty breathing,” the report states.

An OU athletics spokesman said the department is aware of the situation and is conducting its own internal investigation.

4 horns jumped me for no reason last night... I didnt do anything... I have a broken nose.... Boot them!!

You should file a police report and call a lawyer, then. After that, call Charlie Strong.

They should know where to find her now.

[PhilTLL]

So what does that have to do with whether or not she got punched? What would be the angle if this was a hoax? He doesn't have any NFL money to sue for, and criminal charges don't get dismissed for filing new ones against someone else. Do you think she would have proudly outed herself to NewsOK if this was 100% bull?

Even if she goaded him until the cows came home, even if she had a rap sheet a mile long, he shouldn't have punched her in the face, and if he did he should be dismissed from the team.

In the interview she states her intention to sue before she mentions her wishes for criminal charges.

Because she has a rap sheet she looks like an instigator? None of those charges are drunk and disorderly, public intox, assault, domestic abuse, etc. None of them even look like they happened in a bar setting.

[Wishboned]

She did. She suffered a devastating facial injury, and drove over two hours back home, and still managed to give a telephone interview.

[PhilTLL]

Welp, it's pretty easy to see where this is headed. Y'all have fun with the tar and feathers!

I'm not saying she's Princess Charming, or even a very upstanding person, but when the immediate instinct is "Protect the team! She's full of ****! We've got games to win!"...man.

I agree totally. You should never punch a girl unless it's dire self defense. The fact that she's got a rap is just fishy.
Who knows who punched who or what.
And I couldn't discern if the person had been busted for a fake ID or using someone elses as in identity theft. That's an obvious flaw in character if the latter is true.

That's sort of the point. We chatting up this board have no proof of anything. There's tape. Mixon according to his lawyer is going to talk to police. According to the reported eye-witness account, Mixon kept his cool well beyond what that witness thought was reasonable. A lot's going to come out in the next 48 hours. Is it unreasonable to wait at least that long before forming opinions?

That was me paraphrasing. Being that this is a message board, if I was going to quote someone, I would have. But bringing up unrelated criminal charges, painting her as a wild child who brought it on herself, and using the little bits of circumstance and the anonymous witness quotes that we know to suggest that she's lying is basically a "Protect the team! She's full of ****!" reaction.

As opposed to you saying he should be kicked off the team whether he's guilty or not.


KFOR just reported that Mixon will be arrested when found, and that the alleged victim had multiple broken bones and was found bleeding all over the bathroom at Pickleman's.

It is not that hard to avoid situations that might lead to being accused of hitting a woman in the face hard enough to break bones. That's not the same as a pot possession charge or a public intox.

[CK Sooner]

Stated in this phone interview she couldn't open her mouth....again a phone interview. Then she says she was told she slapped him before he hit her. Not gonna bring up her past (trashy hoe), but as far as I know hitting someone back after they hit you is legal, but then there is taking the response to far. Up to the DA to say if he took it to far.

If he hit her and she didn't have any physical contact with him then I say give him the Agg Assault felony charge and goodbye. If she hit him first than give him a misdemeanor for assault and then OU will probably suspend him for some amount of time.

[PhilTLL]

Thanks for quoting me so I don't have to repeat myself.

"It is not that hard to avoid situations that might lead to being accused of hitting a woman in the face hard enough to break bones. That's not the same as a pot possession charge or a public intox."

YES, the mere appearance of being involved in this incident is enough to warrant his dismissal to me. The football team is not the court of law. He does not automatically have the right to play ball until his trial date. Norman is not a wretched hive of vile females waiting to trick incoming stud freshmen into violent encounters.

For that matter, I'd be fine if we hadn't messed with DGB at all. I don't like even the whiff of woman-beating on the OU football team. **** me, right?

So basically let's condemn this young man on mere accusations. Perhaps ruin his future because he was out celebrating his 18th birthday. As far as we know he was minding his own business. But hey, let's tar and feather that young man.

As far as we know he was minding his own business--except the Norman PD are currently seeking to question him in connection with punching a girl they found bleeding with broken bones.

You want to give him a chance, fine, say he's suspended until he's cleared. Maybe don't literally kick him off the team. But it's still pretty queasy. It still gives the appearance that his football career is the priority.

You want to give him a chance, fine, say he's suspended until he's cleared. Maybe don't literally kick him off the team. But it's still pretty queasy. It still gives the appearance that his football career is the priority.


No, it gives the appearance that the coaching staff are going to fully investigate before they fly off the handle and make rash judgments.

And the police are seeking to question him. Which is a normal procedure. No warrants have been issued for his arrest. But if you were chief he'd already be doing life without parole.

That was me paraphrasing. Being that this is a message board, if I was going to quote someone, I would have. But bringing up unrelated criminal charges, painting her as a wild child who brought it on herself, and using the little bits of circumstance and the anonymous witness quotes that we know to suggest that she's lying is basically a "Protect the team! She's full of ****!" reaction.

Here's a link to a phone interview with the alleged victim.

http://www.news9.com/story/26118496/alleged-assault-victim-speaks-out-against-ou-football-player

Where she says


I can’t open my mouth at all

during the phone interview. While she's talking. Once again, she says she can't open her mouth. While her mouth is forming these words.

She claims to have four broken bones in her face.


“My jaw bone, my cheek bone, my sinus and my eye socket are broken,” the victim said.

I could be totally off base on this, but Mixon must have a fist the size of the Hulk's if he broke all those bones in such a wide area with one punch.

And then there's this gem.


News 9 asked the alleged victim for a picture of her injuries, but she didn't want to because they show too much of her face.

[CK Sooner]

So is she not getting a assault charge for hitting him? She already had a warrant out for her....

Gotta love it.

There is very little information available about this at the moment. From the folks that were actually there, it does appear that Mixon was involved. So far, the Norman PD isn't even commenting on it, so anything else is speculation.

Apparently Miss Molitor has two arrests on her record. One is a felony conviction of possession. She pleaded guilty to the felony charges and entered the REALIZING OPPORTUNITIES AND DEVELOPING SKILLS or ROADS program as a condition of pre-sentencing.

I haven't read all the comments on this, but if Mixon did in fact hit this girl then I don't care if he ever plays a down at OU. I don't care how good he is, there are things that guys just shouldn't do. Even if she hit him, he shouldn't hit her back. I guarantee he is strong enough to stop her from hitting him without hitting her back. I understand that he is just now 18 years old and blah blah blah, so I can understand giving him a 2nd chance, but Stoops should at least redshirt/suspend him this year.

This guilty until proven innocent thing sucks. Sounds like she hit him and he quickly retaliated. This sucks. You can light me up all you want, but if she swung first at 2:30am, I am not crucifying the kid. Anyone swinging should expect to be swung on as a reflexive action if nothing else.

I can kinda agree. But Im still not sure he hit her. Until we see the Vids or at least the actions of both parties are described we wont know. Whos to say she didnt instigate the whole thing and Like I have suggested swung at him and Lost her balance and then fell into a table breakin her OWN face?

Really a bad speculation. Only if he is suspended for a year is there probably a minimal chance he transfers since he would have to sit out a year anyways.

If its a short 1-4 game suspension then there isn't a reason to transfer. He has his friends here and it's well known that the homesick stuff was not true and over blown. Heck, if it's a half year suspension I bet he would still stay because he would still get to play the other half.

[CK Sooner]

The most recent stuff is that he pushed her and she fell and hit the table face first. Would you still agree he needs to go if she punched him and he pushed her?

A woman ceases to be a woman when she assaults somebody and expects not to be hit back. Hitting a women doesn't apply here, IMO.

I am pretty sure you can't attend OU with a felony. If you get it while in school its hard for them to find out unless someone notifies them. I am sure they are aware of it now and I hope she will be kicked out.


Boy, Pay Tention
I said IF he indeed HIT her. Not pushed and Obnoxious Drunk away!

Mixon does not have a record and his old coach and current staff have said he is a very good kid. If he simply punched her after she punched him with no serious injuries to the girl than I think he should get a second chance. The law would see that as a punch for punch self defense. Since he didn't break a law in that case than I would expect a suspension no longer than half of the seasons games for bad decision making. Dude JUST turned 18, IMO he deserves a second chance. I think Stoops believes in second chances also....we shall see.

Also let me say if its misdemeanor assault he gets charged with he should still remain on the team with a suspension less than the whole season barring that he didn't break her face and she actually did punch him in the face first. I am sure Stoops already knows the full story from Mixon and the players he was potentially with.

According to the affidavit, Joe was not arrested on scene because the occurrence did not take place in front of the cops. Basically, the investigation had to take place.

NORMAN — Norman Police are still investigating assault allegations against highly-touted Oklahoma freshman running back Joe Mixon, and charges aren’t likely to be filed Monday, the district attorney’s office told The Oklahoman.
Mixon is being investigated for allegedly assaulting a female OU student (http://newsok.com/ou-freshman-joe-mixon-involved-in-altercation-in-norman/article/5075926) at Picklemen’s Gourmet Cafe on Campus Corner early Friday morning.
A police incident report did not identify the suspect, but Mixon’s attorney, Kevin Finlay, has confirmed that Mixon is being investigated in the matter.
Amelia Rae Molitor is identified in the police report as the alleged victim, and in a Friday interview with The Oklahoman, Molitor said that Mixon “broke my face in four places,” adding that she hopes he “goes to prison for years.”
The police incident report states that an unnamed male suspect assaulted Molitor inside Pickleman’s, stating that she suffered “apparent broken bones” following the incident.
“A female was hit in the face by a male subject — (the subject) is gone — she is in the bathroom … she is (conscious) and she is intoxicated … She is bleeding from the mouth … no difficulty breathing,” the report states.
Mixon, a five-star prospect from Freedom High School in Oakley, Calif., became one of the most hyped Oklahoma football signees in years. Rivals.com ranked Mixon as the No. 1 all-purpose back in the 2014 recruiting class.
He attended OU’s spring game in April and spent much of the afternoon standing behind the Sooners’ bench signing hundreds of autographs for overjoyed fans.

[badger]

If you're a stronger, bigger, better person, you should defend yourself, but don't hit back. It's all rumor and speculation at this point, but I don't intend to justify an OU athlete taking part in a fight.

Consider: If this was on the football field during a game and an opponent ran up and punched Mixon, would Mixon be justified in hitting back, or would he also be subject to a 15-yard flag, ejection and suspension if he threw a punch also?

Hmmmmm.....

The feeling continues to grow that this is "Much ado about nothing" cept some Loudmouthed drunk broad.

[EatLeadCommie]

I know we all like to say we'd never strike a woman and maybe we wouldn't, but sometimes when people are hit-- regardless of who is doing the hitting-- striking back is reflexive and instinctive. If she did a double shove and a slap, that extends a bit beyond being a mere nuisance into a "I need to control this" kind of situation. If he shoved her back and she fell down causing her injuries, who cares? Even if he shoved her in the face. If he hit her in such a situation, one game suspension max.

I have yet to hear anything that says he instigated any of this, so regardless, I doubt he gets booted from the team.

[badger]

Apples to Peanuts Badj

I'd like to think that football in-game principles can apply to off field behavior. Football players must control their emotions for the good of the team during the games and off the field. Don't retaliate if an opponent talks trash or commits unsportsmanlike conduct, or you'll unquestionably be penalized. As such, don't retaliate if you're attacked in a bar, or the media circus will begin or worse, criminal charges may result.

Is there anyone that watches college football that disagrees: The one that retaliates is ALWAYS the one that's penalized. Thus, don't EVER retaliate during the game, or you're looking at a 15-yard flag or worse.

If the one that retaliates is always penalized in college football, then is should already be drilled into college football players: Don't ever retaliate, on the field or off. No excuses, don't do it.

I am quite confident that if Mixon stays on the team, that the entire team, coaches and players alike, will handle this situation as it needs to be.

[SoonerMarkVA]

I'm with you. I like the comparison. When I think of who handles this stuff best, I think of Blake Griffin. Morally, that guy's been justified to cold-**** at least a dozen other players. His restraint is remarkable and really a role model.

Molitor got a lawyer. He apparently told her to STFU. No more interviews. Cops say bench warrants don't show up in their database so that's why she wasn't arrested.

[badger]

I think Sooner fans will always be more patient and understanding of OU player infractions than police and football refs will be. The law does not care about age, so long as they're an adult. The law doesn't care what state they're from and how far away it is.

This period of media and fan scrutiny is akin to a 15-yard penalty for targeting. The police may decide not eject (arrest) him after reviewing the tape, but the 15-yard penalty will stand, as this type of incident will impact his public reputation for years.

It's something he can recover from, however. Think Ryan Broyles and many others.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

FIFA isn't the only sport where games are fixed.

[8timechamps]

I'd like to think that football in-game principles can apply to off field behavior. Football players must control their emotions for the good of the team during the games and off the field. Don't retaliate if an opponent talks trash or commits unsportsmanlike conduct, or you'll unquestionably be penalized. As such, don't retaliate if you're attacked in a bar, or the media circus will begin or worse, criminal charges may result.

Is there anyone that watches college football that disagrees: The one that retaliates is ALWAYS the one that's penalized. Thus, don't EVER retaliate during the game, or you're looking at a 15-yard flag or worse.

If the one that retaliates is always penalized in college football, then is should already be drilled into college football players: Don't ever retaliate, on the field or off. No excuses, don't do it.

I am quite confident that if Mixon stays on the team, that the entire team, coaches and players alike, will handle this situation as it needs to be.

I agree with you for the most part, however, we (as humans with emotion) all have a breaking point. The point when "enough is enough". It seems to me that for most people, that point moves back as you age. When you're 18 and someone is in your ear during a game, then takes a shot at you, it can get to a point when you're just done "putting up with it". That doesn't make it right, but it does explain why it happens.

[CK Sooner]

Joe Mixon has requested Assault and Battery charges be brought against Amelia Molitor. This sounds very good. Meaning that the video evidence must show that Mixon acted in self defense.

[CK Sooner]

The charges would usually offset in this situation leaving both charges dropped.

+1 for Mixons lawyer.

[BoulderSooner79]

Sometimes players retaliate in a game knowing full well they will get a flag or get tossed. And it is sometimes the "right" thing to do. If an opponent takes a cheap shot at a QB, you can bet the O-line guys are going after that guy. In ice hockey, teams will start a fight or counter fight on purpose just to lift the emotions of other players. There is no real moral lessen here, I'm just pointing out that on the field and off the field settings do have different rules. Heck, just a clean, form tackle is criminal assault off the field.

Yes, both sides are all lawyered up. That usually means information will trickle out slowly.

[Wishboned]

Mixon was interviewed by the police. His attorney, Kevin Finlay, gave this statement...


"This past Friday morning Joe Mixon found himself in a situation where he was subjected to both verbal and physical attacks from a very intoxicated and troubled young woman," said Finlay in the statement. "As a result of these physical attacks, Joe instinctually defended himself against further harm. - See more at: https://oklahoma.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1663354#sthash.OEXLHurm.dpuf

I haven't taken the time to listen, but apparently there was an interview done via phone. According to those that have heard it, she is talking fine. Not being a doctor (which I'll defer to your expertise), I'm going to assume it would be rather difficult to talk with a broken jaw, and if an orbital bone were broken, you wouldn't be on the phone talking, you'd be at the ER/in surgery. But, I'm not a medical person.

I have no idea why "[the] evidentiary value of the recording prohibits its release at this time." We see videos of things pop up all the time before an arrest is made. Granted, usually it's because police need help in IDing somebody on the tape, but I really don't see the difference. Release the video, unless for some reason it doesn't show the entire incident.

Good conversation everyone, even if we've had our disagreements through the pages :)

It seems like it would be best for both parties to resolve this outside the courts at this point. Exchange apologies publicly, don't involve jail time or money, just move on.

That's probably a pipe dream though. This woman's record suggests she is not of sound mind

[cherokeebrewer]

I just find the entire situation to be sad. The girl obviously has problems but we all likely wish Joe walked away for his sake instead of reacting. I know..easy for me to say.

Completely agree. Why is she still a student in the first place. Should have gone back to Texas some time ago. Not okay to punch a girl in the face but she sounds pretty out of control.

If he really had a warrant out, he'd turn himself in, post bail and leave again. You can't hide a Sooner five-star recruit anywhere in Norman. He doesn't need to hide himself. The only thing hiding right now is the surveillance video... and the woman that accused him who apparently has an outstanding warrant. She's the one that needs to hide to avoid arrest

There has been no confirmation that he was drinking that night. He had a legal right to be there, and no matter what his athletic status is he has a right to defend himself. If she struck him first she ceased to be a girl, and she became an assailant.

He has a right to defend himself. However, defending himself is much easier due to his strength than the average 18 yo. I can easily live with him pushing someone away that was in his face unprovoked. Where he crosses from self defense to something far worse is when he throws a punch.

http://newsok.com/surveillance-video-in-joe-mixon-investigation-likely-wont-be-released-soon/article/5102417



ith the 911 tape in the investigation involving Oklahoma freshman running back Joe Mixon released Tuesday, one other key piece of evidence remains unreleased — the surveillance video.


The video from inside Pickleman’s Gourmet Cafe, where the alleged assault took place early Friday morning, might not become public for a long while, if at all.

The presence of surveillance footage was mentioned multiple times in the 911 call made around 2:30 a.m. Friday.

Mixon’s attorney, Kevin Finlay, requested a copy of the surveillance video from the Norman Police Department.

Norman Police did not provide Finlay with a copy of the video but did allow Finlay to view the tape at the department on Monday afternoon.

Police have said they are not prepared to release the tape due to its “evidentiary value” as the investigation into the incident continues.

Barring a leak of the tape, it likely wouldn’t be viewed by the public until a preliminary hearing or a trial if there are eventually charges filed in the case.

It could also be released if Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn declines to file charges in the case.

Second chances are actually given a lot at the school where the incidents occur. It was he's 18th birthday and him and some buddies went to a restaurant. I don't believe they have curfew...and you are wanting him gone when he potentially (most likely) punched the girl after she spat/punched him, which is well within the law unless he took it to far with multiple punches, etc.

I am not seeing it man. At the most if charges aren't even brought maybe a 1-2 game suspension for putting himself in that situation. If he gets a misdemeanor the suspension will be longer. Only way I see him getting kicked off is if he threw multiple punches, or it gets upgraded to a agg assault.

Wanting an 18 year old kid kicked off because he did something within the law is petty and unrealistic. Maybe if he had a past history of breaking the law, but probably not.

Let me be brutally honest, I have no sympathy for the girl, sorry....she ceased to be a woman when she assaulted him, and that's without bringing up her trashy past.

Thats the most refreshing, true statement about that time period that I have ever read. I was there too, and this is spot on. There was not the open craziness that is now assumed. The problem was that the stuff that happened at OU that made the news was everywhere, at every top football program. Doesn't make it right, it's just the truth. The times were different, no social media, no cellphone cameras. OU players were treated like gods, and they took advantage. OU's problems seems to all happen within a few months of each other and it got blown up, and of course it didn't help that there was a faction that wanted Switzer gone, so this made it easy.

I know that; those stories were overblown to the nth degree. It didn't stop the media from dragging him & OU through the dirt though, even if it was just the 4-5 players who they focused on. Let this get back up to those levels again & you'll see it again, & if you don't think that the powers that be (esp. Mr. PC himself Boren) don't care about public perception, we're just going to have to agree to disagree. I probably did a poor job of trying to intimate that in my previous post, but that's the point I was making.

[KantoSooner]

I apologize if my comment was over harsh. Sincerely.
I get a bit defensive about that era with people I perceive to be too young to have personal knowledge. It's as though, for some, that Barry was a nazicommiedruglordmafiadon who was somehow allowed to run amok until his reign of terror was ended by a popular uprising. I can understand horns feeling that way; considering that he used them and their team like toilet paper for decades. But, it seems odd to me that Sooners would buy into the revisionist history.
But, again, my apologies, nothing personal intended.

Excerpt:

1) Drummond said prosecutors are ethically bound to provide a fair trial. Releasing evidence – whether a video, a confession, DNA – can compromise the ability to provide that fair trial. Jury pools can be tainted.

2) I asked him specifically about the case at OU, and how that video could help school officials determine Mixon’s playing future. Drummond wouldn’t discuss the specifics of that case, but he said if he showed evidence, it would create a problem.

“Then it looks like I’m kind of bed with them, and I’m supposed to be independent,” Drummond said. “It’s not going outside our office. Only law enforcement and prosecutors are going to see it.”

That's terrible news - 5:30am is inhuman!

I find it interesting that Dusty thinks Joe does not deserve a second chance at OU just because he hit a woman. I guess when he9DUSTY) beat his best friend so badly that he nearly killed him,THE SAVING GRACE WAS THAT HIS BEST FRIEND WAS A GUY.APPARENTLY DEFENDING YOURSELF AGAINST AN ATTACK FROM A DRUNKEN WOMAN IS A MUCH BIGGER ISSUE.

To the person deleting insider info comments....at this point any info will be coming out from sources that can not be named. Obviously.

I'm the person deleting the "insider information". I've made it clear (twice) not to post things without a verifiable source. We can speculate all day long, but that's all it is at this point. No reason to start the whole "I heard from a friend, who heard from a friend..." stuff.

Suspended.

Interesting.

Doesn't feel like a positive.

No, it doesn't. But it could just be a prudent move by the university until the police investigation is finished.

My thoughts exactly. No need for distractions when you are just getting going. In the long run, I think Mixon leaves the program.

Suspended.

ESPN says "suspended" but the article in our own news forum quotes Mixon's attorney as saying Mixon is *not* suspended. He is being held out of football activities pending the investigation results. Of course, Mixon's attorney is going to spin it as positive as he can, so take it FWIW.

This could be typical protocol (I can't remember off the top of my head if there is some precedent for it). Certainly prudent for OU, especially given the current atmosphere in the NCAA.

Not that there's ever a good time for something like this, but with Shannon's ordeal and DGB's arrival, the timing couldn't be much worse.

The "headline" on the main NCAAF page on ESPN says he's "banned" from the team. So, like everything else with this, there's no clarity.

Banned or suspended - seems like basically the same thing.

I have a bad feeling the university knows that charges are coming....hope im wrong.

"Joe Mixon is not reporting for team activities at this time. We will continue to monitor the situation."
SoonerScoop contacted Mixon's attorney, Kevin Finlay, following the release from OU.
"It's our understanding that he's not being suspended, that he's simply being held out from team activities, pending the conclusion of the investigation," Finlay said. "My understanding is that that's University of Oklahoma policy, and that he's being treated as would any student athlete."

Depends. Suspended seems to carries an official designation that requires a protocol to become reinstated. Being "held out of team activities" may not carry any official status. Yes, I'm speculating why Mixon's attorney specifically stated Mixon was not suspended - there must be a rules difference (for now).
