The Marion County (Ind.) prosecutor released the scathing probable cause affidavit Sunday to explain Saturday’s arrest of FOX Sports analyst and former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez , according to Indianapolis FOX-59 new anchor Angela Ganote. The document reveals a violent physical altercation between Sanchez and a victim identified only by his initials “P.T.” in downtown Indianapolis early Saturday morning.
Sanchez, who was stabbed multiple times in the altercation, was arrested Saturday morning inside Eskenazi Hospital on three charges for battery with injury, unlawful entry into a motor vehicle and public intoxication. Sanchez was in town ahead of Sunday’s NFL game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Indianapolis Colts , though he’s since been replaced by Brady Quinn in the FOX booth. Sanchez is scheduled to appear in a Marion County court Tuesday.
The charging document details the altercation between Sanchez and “P.T.” based on a combination of first-hand accounts and video provided by both parties and surveillance video from the nearby Indianapolis Marriott Downtown hotel. Surveillance video showed Sanchez appeared to be the aggressor, approaching P.T., a delivery driver who was parked in a loading dock connected to the neighboring Westin Hotel. Sanchez and P.T. appear to exchange words, with Sanchez repeatedly pursuing the delivery driver even as he attempts to walk away from the former NFL quarterback.

Surveillance video then shows “Mr. Sanchez grabbing and throwing P.T. towards the wall of the Westin” before the two begin fighting beside a nearby dumpster, according to the affidavit. In his statement to police, P.T. revealed Sanchez approached him and told the delivery driver he couldn’t park in the loading dock area. The victim then said Sanchez “smelled of alcohol and his speech was slurred,” per the affidavit. P.T. told police he didn’t initially know who Sanchez was but assumed he was a manager of one of the hotels because he was “well dressed and groomed.” At this point, Sanchez entered the delivery truck but exited after another exchange of words.
