Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon has been issued an arrest warrant for allegedly pointing a gun at a woman in downtown Cincinnati last month.

The warrant was issued for one count of aggravated menacing, a charge in Ohio that states a person shall not cause another to believe that they will cause harm.

Mixon's agent, Peter Schaffer, expects the charge to be dropped on Friday.

This is not the first incident in Mixon's playing career, as he was previously suspended for a season while at Oklahoma after a video showed him punching a woman at a sandwich shop.
