Overview

• After discharge Sunday morning, Sanchez was processed at the Marion County Jail for fingerprinting and a mugshot as required before he could leave Indiana.
• Sanchez faces battery resulting in serious bodily injury (Level 5 felony) plus three misdemeanors—battery resulting in bodily injury, unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle, and public intoxication that endangers another—with the felony carrying a potential one to six years in prison.
• A police affidavit alleges Sanchez, 38, accosted 69-year-old Perry Tole, who first used pepper spray and then stabbed Sanchez while claiming self-defense; surveillance video shows Sanchez before and leaving the scene bloodied.
• Tole has filed a civil lawsuit against Sanchez and Fox Corporation alleging severe injuries and negligent hiring, and Fox Sports has placed Sanchez on leave.
• Sanchez briefly thanked first responders and his surgeon, said he is focused on recovery, and is next due in court for a pretrial conference on Nov. 5.
