Johnny Manziel Indicted, Faces Suspension & Year In Jail

A Texas grand jury has indicted free agent quarterback and 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel on a misdemeanor assault charge, according to Dallas County court records.

Manziel's former girlfriend, Colleen Crowley,accused the former NFL quarterback of restraining, hitting and threatening her during an alleged assault on January 30.

Manziel, 23, has denied hitting Crowley.

I can't say if he did or if he didn't only people know is Manziel, Miss Crowley, and God.

The maximum penalty for a Class A misdemeanor in Texas is one year in jail or a $4,000 fine, or both.

The Browns traded up to select Manziel 22nd overall in the 2014 NFL draft. While he showed flashes of promise, he ultimately couldn't retain the starting quarterback job.

This criminal charge is the latest in a string of events that leave Manziel's NFL career in doubt.

"I owe private apologies to a lot of people that I disappointed but a very public one to the Browns organization and the fans that I let down," Manziel said in a statement April 17, 2015, after leaving rehab.
