OU freshman Joe Mixon involved in altercation in Norman | News OK
NORMAN — Oklahoma freshman running back Joe Mixon is being investigated by police for allegedly assaulting a female OU student at a restaurant near Campus Corner early Friday morning, his attorney Kevin Finlay said.
Norman police have confirmed an incident at Pickleman’s Gourmet Cafe, but said no arrests were made and an investigation is underway. A police incident report did not identify the suspect in the assault.
The report did, though, identify the alleged victim as Amelia Rae Molitor, a 20-year-old OU student from Euless, Texas, who spoke to The Oklahoman on Friday evening via telephone.
Molitor said she had never seen Mixon before he punched her in the face, breaking four bones. She said Mixon was “harassing” her and some of her friends at Pickleman’s before the incident.
“He punched me one time,” she said. “He broke my face in four places … my nose, my sinuses … they’re broken.”
Molitor, who spoke confidently over the protests of her mother, said she plans to take legal action against Mixon, and added that she fears the wrath of OU fans.
“That’s my big fear (the fans),” Molitor said. “I’ve been told to stay off of social media to avoid (OU fans) coming after me on there.”
Molitor said she plans to sue Mixon, in some capacity, and that she hopes the running back “goes to prison for years.”
“That’s what he deserves,” she said. “I don’t care if he’s the star running back or not.”
Mixon was among the most highly recruited prospects in the country, and his early January committment to OU was met with immense joy and excitement.
The five-star prospect from Freedom High School in Oakley, Calif., attended the Sooners’ spring game in April, and stood behind OU’s bench for much of the afternoon signing countless autographs for fans.
OU coaches have so far praised Mixon’s work ethic and attitude throughout summer workouts. Mixon — from Oakley, Calif. — arrived in Norman at the beginning of the summer.
Molitor had returned to her family home by Friday evening.
The alleged assault occurred as Mixon — who turned 18 on Thursday — was wrapping up his birthday celebrations.
Finlay, a Norman attorney, said Mixon contacted him about the incident shortly after it occurred. The attorney confirmed that Norman police had been in contact with Mixon but that his client had “not been arrested at this point.”
“We are cooperating, fully, with the police on this,” Finlay told The Oklahoman. “Joe is definitely looking forward to the truth coming out … that’s about all I can say at this time.”
When asked if Joe Mixon was his client, the attorney responded in the affirmative.
“Joe contacted me about this, that’s true,” Finlay said.
The police’s incident report reveals that an unnamed male subject assaulted a woman inside the restaurant. The report states that Molitor suffered “apparent broken bones” following the incident.
“A female was hit in the face by a male subject — (the subject) is gone — she is in the bathroom … she is (conscious) and she is intoxicated … She is bleeding from the mouth … no difficulty breathing,” the report states.
An OU athletics spokesman said the department is aware of the situation and is conducting its own internal investigation.
