Former NFL quarterback and current Fox Sports analyst Mark Sanchez is facing an additional charge for his alleged involvement in a violent altercation in Indianapolis early Saturday morning.
Sanchez, 38, had initially been arrested and charged with several misdemeanors during the weekend after he was hospitalized with a stab wound. On Monday, Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears announced in a press conference that his office filed a charge against Sanchez for Level 5 felony battery.
"We received an amended, or an additional probable cause affidavit this morning," Mears said. "With that additional information, we have added more serious charges against Mr. Sanchez. At this point in time, we have filed a felony charge, a Level 5 felony of battery involving serious bodily injury."
If convicted of the felony, Sanchez would face a sentence between 1 to 6 years.
