Amid conflicting reports regarding the actions of Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew during a Memorial Day weekend tussle at a Florida restaurant, a lawyer asserts to have video showing the player punching a security guard.

Jones initially was accused of striking a bouncer during an altercation, though police later said the Jaguars hadn't been charged with battery. His agent Adisa Bakari, followed with a statement that said his client "was not involved in any verbal or physical altercation whatsoever."

The bouncer's attorney, Gregory Anderson, disagrees, and claims to have video proof that Jones-Drew "viciously attacked and severely injured" his client, Kasim Howard.

In a statement to the Florida Times Union, Anderson further said that Howard was trying protect several female patrons from harassment by members of Jones-Drew's party, and had no previous contact with Jones-Drew. He said Howard suffered a dislocated jaw and spinal injuries.

"Any fair-minded person watching the video has to conclude that Mr. Jones-Drew initiated an unprovoked attack on Mr. Howard and then literally ran away from the scene. The videos, in addition to virtually all eyewitness accounts, unequivocally prove that Mr. Jones-Drew attacked the security officer without provocation," the statement read.
