What did Joe Mixon's sister do? Bengals RB's sibling Shalonda turns herself in to Hamilton County Jail
Earlier this month, Cincinnati Bengals star Joe Mixon was embroiled in a shooting case at his house. As the case progressed, his sister Shalonda got involved in the situation. As per a recent update, Shalonda turned herself in to the Hamilton County Jail.
TMZ Sports confirmed the news, reporting that she made the decision on Thursday at 6:54 PM, after she was charged for the shooting. She spent the night at the Hamilton County Jail.
At her arraignment hearing on Friday, she pleaded not guilty to all charges. The charges included one count of obstruction of justice and one count of tampering with evidence.
As of now, reports added that Shalonda's boyfriend Lamonte Brewer shot a teenager who was playing with his Nerf gun in Mixon's backyard. Shalonda has been accused of covering up the shooting, which occurred on March 6. She apparently tried to hide the shell casings before leaving the scene with Brewer.
Mixon, whose house was used, hasn't been charged. As per prosecutors, Mixon won't face charges if he is not involved and did not commit a crime.
