Mark Sanchez Charged; Civil Suit Filed
Former NFL quarterback and Fox Sports analyst Mark Sanchez, 38, has been charged with a Level 5 felony count of battery resulting in serious bodily injury — upgraded from earlier misdemeanor counts — after a late-night parking/loading-dock altercation outside a downtown Indianapolis hotel. Prosecutors say surveillance footage and court affidavits allege Sanchez accosted and threw a 69-year-old delivery-truck driver against a wall; the driver used pepper spray and a knife in what he told police was self‑defense. Prosecutors say the driver suffered “significant and very severe” injuries, including a penetrating laceration through his left cheek, which supported the felony upgrade. Sanchez was hospitalized with multiple stab wounds, has pleaded not guilty and reportedly posted bond, and Marion County prosecutors said the investigation is ongoing and additional charges are possible. The injured driver has filed a civil lawsuit against Sanchez and Fox alleging assault/battery and negligent hiring and retention. Fox removed Sanchez from the Colts–Raiders broadcast while the matter proceeds.
