Overview

• After his discharge Sunday, Sanchez was fingerprinted and photographed at the Marion County Jail, then allowed to travel out of state, telling reporters he is focused on recovery and thanking the surgeon who he said saved his life.
• He faces a Level 5 felony charge of battery resulting in serious bodily injury and three misdemeanors, an offense that carries a possible one-to-six-year prison term if convicted.
• A police affidavit alleges Sanchez accosted 69-year-old truck driver Perry Tole and smelled of alcohol, while Tole told investigators he used pepper spray and then a knife in self-defense; police say they recovered the knife and reviewed surveillance video.
• Tole has filed a civil lawsuit against Sanchez and Fox Corporation alleging negligence, and Fox has placed Sanchez on leave.
• A pretrial conference is set for Nov. 5 as prosecutors continue reviewing evidence and say additional charges remain possible; police released Sanchez’s booking photo early due to public interest.
