Original, July 26: Joe Mixon, Oklahoma’s highest-rated signee in the class of 2014, was allegedly involved in a “serious altercation” Friday morning that required the involvement of the Norman Police Department. The news was first reported by Rivals and later confirmed by The Oklahoman through Mixon’s attorney and the Norman PD.
The incident reportedly took place at Pickleman’s Gourmet Cafe in Norman. Mixon was not arrested at the scene. The Oklahoman cites an incident report that says an unnamed male assaulted a woman at Pickleman’s, leaving her with broken bones.
Cowboys Ride For Free cites a witness who claims the woman “was knocked out and blood was all over the floor.” Crimson And Cream Machine reports aggravated assault is a potential charge.

— Andrew Knittle (@AndrewKnittle) July 26, 2014 Mixon’s attorney told the Oklahoman they are “cooperating fully” and Mixon is “definitely looking forward to the truth coming out.”
ESPN’s Travis Haney tweeted that Mixon was having troubled adjusting to life in Norman.
Was told this week that Joe Mixon had not acclimated well since arriving at OU. Already had to be convinced to stay. And now this.
— Travis Haney (@TravHaneyESPN) July 25, 2014 Mixon tried to leave OU "after a week," the coach told me earlier in the week. "He's a flaky kid. I bet he doesn't last the year."
— Travis Haney (@TravHaneyESPN) July 25, 2014 Mixon’s 18th birthday was Thursday. Rivals and The Oklahoman both report the Oklahoma athletic department is aware of the incident.
