Mark Sánchez Released From Indianapolis Jail as Felony Assault Case Proceeds

A judge set conditions on his release with a court appearance scheduled for Nov. 5.

Overview

  • Police say the Oct. 4 confrontation outside a downtown hotel ended with Sánchez stabbed in the upper right torso during a clash with truck driver Perry Tole.
  • Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears has said Sánchez will face a felony aggravated-assault count alongside misdemeanors, an offense that carries about one to six years in prison under Indiana law.
  • After being discharged from a local hospital, Sánchez was booked into the Marion County facility; IMPD said his booking photo was posted earlier than usual due to public interest.
  • A police affidavit alleges Sánchez smelled of alcohol and entered Tole’s truck without permission before a physical struggle ensued.
  • Tole says he first used pepper spray and then a knife in self-defense and has filed a civil suit against Sánchez and Fox Corp seeking damages, while prosecutors say the criminal investigation remains open.
