Cincinnati Police announced Friday that Bengals running back Joe Mixon has been reindicted for aggravating intimidation.

An affidavit from a woman alleging that Mixon threatened her with a gun during a Jan. 21 road rage incident was originally filed in Hamilton County District Court.

Judge Kurt Kissinger told Cincinnati’s Enquirer on February 2 that he approved the dismissal of the aggravated intimidation charges, but that prosecutors had the option to revisit the charges at a later date.

“This decision (to reindict Mixon) was made after new evidence was discovered during the investigation,” Cincinnati Police said in a statement to the Enquirer on Friday. In order to maintain a fair judicial process, details and evidence of the investigation will not be disclosed outside of official court proceedings.”

Mixon, 26, is scheduled to appear in court on April 19.

He finished his sixth season with the Bengals in a 23-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. Last season, Mixon recorded 210 carries for 814 yards and 7 touchdowns and caught 60 passes for 441 yards and 2 touchdowns.

In his six seasons, Mixon rushed for 5,378 yards on 1,314 carries and 40 TDs for 1,763 yards and 10 points on 231 catches.

The Bengals selected Mixon in the second round with the 48th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. A potential first-round pick, he withdrew from the draft due to concerns about his character. While in Oklahoma in 2014, Mixon pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge of punching a woman in the face.

Mixon signed a four-year, $48 million contract extension in 2020 and was named to the Pro Bowl that season.
