Patriots Star Stefon Diggs Faces Serious Legal Troubles
The New England Patriots are grappling with troubling news as star wide receiver Stefon Diggs finds himself in the middle of a significant legal scandal. Reports indicate that Diggs is facing felony charges of strangulation or suffocation, alongside misdemeanor counts of assault and battery.
Details of the Incident
Court documents reveal that these charges are linked to an incident that occurred on December 2, just a day after the Patriots secured a victory against the New York Giants. In that game, Diggs contributed with three receptions for 26 yards, but the aftermath of the game has taken a far more serious turn.
Legal Proceedings Underway
As the situation unfolds, Diggs’ legal team has been active in court, appearing in Dedham this week. They are advocating for the police report related to the case to be impounded, which would prevent its public release. As of now, a judge has yet to make a decision on this request.
Diggs’ motion hearing was scheduled to commence this morning at 11:00 AM, as indicated by court records. The outcome of this hearing could have significant implications for both the player and the franchise as they navigate this unexpected challenge.
With the Patriots facing an already complex season, the addition of legal issues surrounding one of their key players adds another layer of uncertainty as they move forward.
