Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth has been charged with simple assault after he was allegedly involved in an altercation at a stop light while driving in Reston, Va. on Wednesday morning.

When reached for comment, a Redskins official said, “We just found out about this. We are gathering all the information.”

According to Officer Shelley Broderick, the incident occurred at around 9:16 in the morning. Here are some of the details that have been made available by the Fairfax County Police Department so far.

A 38 year-old man driving a 1994 Honda Civic noticed a pickup truck — allegedly driven by Haynesworth — tailgating him. After issuing a hand gesture to the driver of the truck, the two vehicles continued down the road.

Upon stopping for a red light at New Dominion Parkway, Haynesworth reportedly got out of his truck and approached the driver of the Civic. After a brief exchange of words, Haynesworth allegedly struck the driver, who was still sitting in his car.

An investigation occurred over the past two days that led to Haynesworth being charged with a misdemeanor assault. The defensive lineman’s attorney has since reached out to the Police to confirm that his client is not currently in the area, but that he would turn himself in upon his return next week.

Haynesworth’s agent, Chad Speck, released a statement claiming that any allegations of assault are false.

“Albert has yet to speak to the authorities at all on this matter,” Speck said. “So only one side of this story has been told at this point in time. If contacted by the authorities, Albert will certainly cooperate in any way.”

Speck added that, “This man, who actually provoked the situation himself, recognized Albert and is now simply trying to turn it into his 15 minutes of fame and get, we can only assume, some money. Albert did not assault this man and looks forward to his day in court to refute these ridiculous allegations.”
