Randall Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Brooks accused of assault BY JIM HANNAH | JHANNAH@NKY.COM BURLINGTON – A Florence woman claims Bengals linebacker Ahmad Brooks punched her in the face, according to court records. Brooks has been summoned to appear June 6 in Boone District Court to answer to the charges. Destiny Rosich gave a sworn statement Wednesday that Brooks was arguing outside her neighbor’s home on April 9 in the 7600 block of Banklick Street. She said her children were outside playing and began to cry because Brooks and the neighbor were about to start a fist fight. Brooks told the neighbor that he was going to “split his head open,” Rosich wrote in her statement. That when she “nicely approached” Brooks and asked him to stop and “take it somewhere else,” according to the statement. “He then pulled back his fist and struck (punched) me in the left eye,” Rosich wrote. “I then fell and blacked out.” Rosich said when she gained consciousness, she grabbed her children, ran inside her home, called 911 and was taken to an area emergency room. She did not sustain any long-term injuries. Copyright 2008, Enquirer.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Bengals have been falsely accused by people in that area previously. But nothing surprises me anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wolf Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Too soon to judge, IMO. She could be a liar or telling the truth. Rather than choose sides, I'll wait to see what else comes out on this story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Actually, funny story. I was just in that area the other day. Was driving by, I believe its called Club Venus, and out struts hoochie-mama dancer in her "outift" barefoot and waving her hand in the air yelling about God-knows-what. A bouncer comes flying out the door behind her trying to coax her back inside. She kept walking. I kept driving... and laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outshined Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I just don't get it...The Bengals have had 10 arrests in 14 months not counting this one and then they draft a guy that had two DUI's in a one month span plus hit and run. He is currently going through the court system now. If anybody is going to take a flyer on this guy, it shouldn't be the Bengals. Goodell was threatning on taking draft picks from teams. he might have a good reason now... Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Fishy. Another link to the story. From your link... "He had 46 tackles with one sack..." That's enough to make anyone angry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westvirginia Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Definitely fishy. I'm not sure what a "fourth-degree assault" is, but there is no way that he could punch a woman and knock her unconscious without doing serious and obvious damage that would yield attempted murder. Unless he's a p*ssy with a soft fist? I'm no doc, but my understanding is that a blow to the head that's hard enough to knock one out is, by definition, almost hard enough to kill. I would think a broken eye socket or something. It does sound fishy, but... The Bengals are trying to out-do the late-90's Cowboys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they were probably going to accuse Chris Henry, but he was already on the po-po's ankle monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
