The wild brawl made it rounds on the internet as Newton was apparently jumped by at least four men during his foundation-sponsored 7-on-7 football tournament.
According to TMZ, Newton nor any of the brawlers will face any jail time as nobody involved wanted to press any charges.
From the report:
“Officers at the scene wrote in the docs they don’t know why it all started … but at least one cop recognized right away that Newton was involved due to “his hat and hairstyle.”
Another officer stated in the docs he saw two males “grabbing and pushing” Newton … and he raced over to break things up.
However, once the dust settled … the officer wrote that nobody asked for medical assistance — and furthermore, no one wanted to see anyone go to jail.”
“Neither Mr. Newton or any of the other involved persons who remained on scene indicated that they required medical attention or wished to pursue criminal charges,” the Atlanta Police Department said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
“The responding officers completed an information-only incident report to document what had occurred. At this time, it is unknown how or why the scuffle occurred.”
Newton has not played in an NFL game since 2021 when he did so for the New England Patriots but is not officially retired and hopes to latch on with another team.
