Stefon Diggs Faces Legal Challenges Amidst Support from Patriots
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is currently embroiled in serious legal issues. Court documents reveal that he is scheduled for arraignment on multiple charges, which include felony strangulation or suffocation, along with misdemeanor assault and battery. The incident that led to these charges reportedly occurred on December 2, just a day after Diggs and the Patriots secured a victory over the New York Giants in Week 17. This unfolding story was initially reported by Boston 25 News.
Patriots Stand Firm in Support of Diggs
In response to the allegations, the New England Patriots released a statement expressing their awareness of the situation. The organization emphasized its support for Diggs, stating, “Stefon has informed the organization that he categorically denies the allegations. We support Stefon. We will continue to gather information and will cooperate fully with the appropriate authorities and the NFL as necessary.” The team made it clear that, due to the ongoing legal matter, they would refrain from further comments at this time, showing respect for all parties involved.
Upcoming Court Appearances
The initial court hearing, which is a motion hearing, is set to commence at 11 a.m. on December 30 at the Dedham District Court. Following this, Diggs is expected to return to court on January 21. As he navigates these legal challenges, the support from the Patriots organization may play a significant role in how the situation develops, as they continue to monitor the events closely.
