Mixon was accused of wielding a gun in the direction of another driver in a road rage incident that happened near the intersection of Walnut Street and 2nd Street in downtown Cincinnati on January 21, 2023.
The alleged victim Ashley Meek left the courtroom quickly and without issuing a comment.

He has 40 rushing touchdowns and 10 receiving touchdowns.
The Bengals open the season on September 10 at AFC North rival Cleveland.
