In this video, we delve into the controversy surrounding former New England Patriots player, Patrick Pass, who is at the center of an assault accusation that took place at a Planet Fitness gym in North Providence, Rhode Island. Pass, a three-time Super Bowl champion alongside Tom Brady, vehemently denies the allegations that he shoved an 82-year-old man during an argument over workout equipment on August 28th.
According to NBC 10 reports, Pass has been formally charged with assaulting a man over the age of 60 and causing bodily injury. The elderly victim, Juan Muriel, stated that the day after the incident, he was unable to walk, lie down, or perform any activities due to his injuries. Pass, 46, responded in a recent interview, saying, “Look at me, do you really think I would do that? Please, I have better things to do than try to assault someone.”
Authorities from the North Providence Police Department have been contacted for comment but have yet to issue an official statement. Reports from CBS News, NBC 10, and local WPRI indicate that Pass's bail was set at $10,000 last Wednesday, and he is no longer held in custody according to Kent County records. The former player is scheduled to return to court in January for further legal proceedings.
Patrick Pass began his NFL career after being drafted by the New England Patriots in the seventh round of the 2000 NFL Draft. In addition to his tenure with the Patriots, Pass also had brief stints with the Houston Texans and the New York Giants before retiring in 2009.
