Newly signed Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Michael Bennett has been indicted by a Harris County grand jury for allegedly assaulting an elderly person.
According to local Houston news outlet KHOU, Bennett was indicted on Friday for “injuring a 66-year-old paraplegic who was working at NRG Stadium to control access to the field at Super Bowl LI.”
Authorities claim Bennett was a spectator at the game and was cheering on his brother Martellus, then New England Patriots tight end. After the Patriots won, Bennet reportedly tried to storm the field but the victim told him to use a different entrance. He resisted and ultimately pushed the 66 year old paraplegic, causing “bodily injury.”

OMG It’s true.My son told me this earlier and I just laughed at him.:)
Thuggery runs in the family. Just sayin’ bro.
Why did it take more than a year to indict this a**hole? Whatever. I hope he goes to the cooler for at least a year or two. Such a disgusting PoS, this clown.
I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that this is about the football player and not the senator or the choreographer who died 30 years ago ...
Is it too soon to blame it on chronic traumatic encephalopathy?
I can't speak for all white people, but paraplegic guys being attacked by NFL thugs makes me a tad uncomfortable. Did that make the book, I wonder?
Crap. My first thought was my senator from Colorado..
I could not agree with you more!
Sounds bad but come on, 13 months ago he “forced” his way onto the field through the wrong entrance, and he’s facing ten years in jail?
come get your story, Bennett....
Bennett, along with Pete Carroll and other players are why I hate the seahawks although I live in seahawk territory..
No he is facing a year in jail for assaulting a person doing their job in traffic control.
“Sounds bad but come on, 13 months ago he “forced” his way onto the field through the wrong entrance, and he’s facing ten years in jail?”
Read the article.
He is not charged with going through the wrong entrance.
He is charged with assaulting a 66 year old disabled security guard.
Surely, Mr. Bennett could have easily gotten on to the field without roughing up an elderly, disabled man.

You can’t make this stuff up.
I guess being run over / body-slammed by a professional athlete would make one “uncomfortable”, yss.
