(USGovernment-News.Com, June 06, 2013 ) Newark, NJ -- The lawyer who will be representing the security guard who accused Maurice Jones-Drew of punching him in the head recently released a statement, claiming that there was video evidence of the Jacksonville Jaguars star attacking his client.
Jones-Drew was not formally charged to this point, but is alleged to have been involved in an incident the previous Sunday that was dealt with at a restaurant in St. Augustine, Florida.
Adisa Bakari, who represents the running back, stated that his client was not involved in the event, and the St. Augustine police department have been notified of his innocence in the matter.
That claim is likely to be under scrutiny regardless of the presence of a video, as the Florida Times-Union published a statement by lawyer Greg Anderson that his client, Kasim Howard, who was “viciously attacked and severely injured” by Jones-Drew.
Anderson went on to claim that there was video footage taken by a security camera at the restaurant which clearly shows Jones-Drew attacking the security guard.
"Conch House security video captures Mr. Jones-Drew rapidly approaching Mr. Howard from the back-left side and sucker punching him in the jaw," Anderson wrote in the statement, according to the Times-Union. "As a result of this attack, Mr. Howard suffered a dislocated jaw and spinal injuries. He was hospitalized, later released and is recovering at home.”
The statement continued by stating: "The current attempts by some to characterize this as a 'scuffle' are misleading and unsupported by any evidence. Any fair-minded person watching the video has to conclude that Mr. Jones-Drew initiated an unprovoked attack on Mr. Howard and then literally ran away from the scene. The videos, in addition to virtually all eyewitness accounts, unequivocally prove that Mr. Jones-Drew attacked the security officer without provocation."
