Former Fox Sports analyst Mark Sanchez has plead guilty to charges relating to an altercation from last fall, according to Indiana court records. Sanchez, who was facing three misdemeanors and a felony battery charge, filed a motion for a guilty plea on Thursday.
In October, Sanchez was stabbed in Indianapolis after allegedly sparking an altercation with a truck driver while intoxicated. He was initially charged with three misdemeanors — battery, unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle, and public intoxication — and later charged with a felony for battery resulting in serious bodily injury.
It is unclear which of the charges Sanchez is pleading guilty to. Sanchez’s attorneys are reportedly requesting that his sentencing hearing take place on Nov. 9 or Nov. 16 if his plea is accepted, per multiple reports.
Sanchez’s jury trial was originally set for March 12, but it was rescheduled four different times, most recently to Sept. 8.
Sanchez, a former New York Jets quarterback-turned-analyst, was fired by Fox a month after the incident.
Perry Tole, the truck driver who Sanchez allegedly assaulted, also filed a civil suit against Sanchez, Fox and Huse Culinary, the company that owns St. Elmo’s Steakhouse where the incident occurred. While Huse Culinary appears to have been dismissed as a defendant, the lawsuit against Sanchez and Fox is ongoing.
