Ex-NFL star Willie McGinest charged with two felonies for his role in a December restaurant brawl, according to TMZ Sports.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed charges this week, giving the New England Patriots legend one count of assault with a deadly weapon and one count of assault by means of force likely to cause great bodily injury.

Each charge carries up to four years in prison and McGinest’s arraignment in the case has been set for April of 2023.

Ex-NFL Star Willie McGinest Charged with Two Felonies! Here’s Why

McGinest was initially arrested back in late December of 2022 after a video showed him and several others badly beating a man on December 9, 2022, at Delilah in West Hollywood.

The footage appears to show McGinest and a row of other men walking up to a man seated with his back to them.

As McGinest approaches the man, he leans forward to get close enough to be face-to-face while still standing and sneak-punches the man in the face to get the altercation started, before later picking up a bottle and smashing it into the man’s head.

McGinest eventually apologized for his role in the brawl, calling everything a “lapse in judgment and behavior.”

“To my family, community, friends and youth I mentor”, the 51-year-old said, “please know I feel horrible for my actions and take full responsibility.”

McGinest was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame in 2015. Furthermore, due to his involvement in this senseless act, McGinest was suspended from his role as an NFL Network analyst following the arrest.

What do you guys think about the video? Is there any way ex-NFL star Willie McGinest can justify his actions that evening? Let us know in the comments!
