Several concerning details have begun to emerge from Mark Sanchez’s arrest over the weekend, in which he was also stabbed in a dispute with a truck driver.
According to a report in the Indianapolis Star, the probable cause affidavits state that the victim in the case is a 69-year-old truck driver. The driver parked his box truck at a loading dock to collect used cooking oil from a hotel kitchen.
Sanchez then approached the driver and told him that he wasn’t allowed to park there. The former quarterback and current Fox Sports broadcaster also told the man that he had spoken with the hotel manager, who stated that no one was allowed to park there.
The driver then said he would contact his boss to find out what was going on.
Then the story gets more bizarre.
Sanchez then reportedly climbed into the man’s truck and began looking around. The driver informed him that he was not allowed to be in his vehicle. The victim said that Sanchez smelled like alcohol and “kept repeating that he had spoken to a manager, and they did not want [victim] to [replace the fryer oil].”
Sanchez then reportedly began following the man around his truck and blocking him from entering the vehicle. Security footage also appears to show Sanchez knocking the man against a wall and then to the ground.
The victim retaliated with pepper spray, but the chemical reportedly only momentarily fazed Sanchez before he resumed the pressure.
Then, apparently fearing for his life, the driver pulled a knife and stabbed Sanchez two or three times in the chest. The former QB then reportedly left the scene.
Sanchez was hospitalized with critical injuries and arrested on three misdemeanors: battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle, and public intoxication.
“This incident should never have happened,” Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said, per the Star. “What began as a disagreement between a 38-year-old former professional athlete and a 69-year-old man should not have escalated into violence or left anyone seriously injured. As with any case, we will follow the facts and the law wherever they lead.”
