Browns QB Manziel explains altercation

Published

on

Johnny Manziel on Friday explained an altercation that occurred last Saturday, saying “a very intoxicated, very aggressive person” approached Manziel and “kept attempting to come at me.”

The man, 33-year-old Ohio native Chris Gonos, said he approached Manziel to shake his hand and was punched by Manziel’s associated, identified by police as Manziel’s roommate, Dana Kirk. Gonos also said Manziel punched Gonos’ brother.

Manziel, the Cleveland Browns’ first-round pick this year, said he was returning home to his apartment with Kirk after dinner with Manziel’s mother, and they were approached by a man in the lobby.

“As I was waiting for an elevator, I was approached by what has been made out to be a fan,” Manziel said, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, “and at this point in the night this was a very intoxicated, very aggressive person that approached me in the lobby, putting his hands on me, kind of toying with me as I got back, just kind of trying to kind my own business and get upstairs to my room.”

Manziel said the man “kept attempting to come at me, just being extremely aggressive, and as we tried to coax him into getting into his elevator and going on about the night, the guy got very aggressive. Luckily for us … security was able to get things under wraps.”

Manziel said there was no entourage, as Gonos reportedly alleged, and that it was a situation that he tried to avoid “at all costs and one that unfortunately (I was) not able to really get away from.”

Browns coach Mike Pettine said earlier this week that the incident wouldn’t affect Manziel’s standing and he would continue to back up starting quarterback Brian Hoyer.
