Prosecutors say charges could be increased pending medical findings.

Overview

  • TMZ-released security footage shows Sanchez wandering for about 20 minutes near downtown hotels before jogging into an alley and later fleeing bloodied around 12:30 a.m.
  • Police accounts say Sanchez confronted 69-year-old truck driver Perry Tole and tried to enter his vehicle, after which Tole used pepper spray and then a knife, asserting self-defense.
  • Sanchez faces a Level 5 felony battery charge and three misdemeanors, has pleaded not guilty through his lawyer, and is due back in court on Nov. 4.
  • Marion County prosecutor Ryan Mears indicated the case could be upgraded based on the extent and permanence of Tole’s injuries.
  • Fox Sports removed Sanchez from upcoming broadcasts, with Mark Schlereth stepping in alongside Chris Myers, as Tole files a civil suit against Sanchez and Fox alleging severe, lasting injuries.
