Mark Sanchez Charged After Indianapolis Stabbing With $300 Bail and Tuesday Hearing

The former NFL quarterback remains hospitalized in stable condition under misdemeanor counts filed by Marion County prosecutors.

Overview

  • Prosecutors charged Sanchez, 38, with assault causing bodily injury, public intoxication, and unlawful entry into a motor vehicle.
  • Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said the dispute between Sanchez and a 69-year-old man should not have escalated to violence and pledged to follow the facts and the law.
  • Bond was set at $300 with an initial court appearance scheduled for Tuesday.
  • Indianapolis police said detectives reviewed video of the 12:30 a.m. confrontation in the downtown Wholesale district and described it as an isolated incident between two non-local men.
  • Sanchez remains in a hospital rather than a detention facility, and Fox Sports said he is stable and requested privacy as he had been in the city to work the Colts–Raiders game.
