Patriots’ Stefon Diggs Has Arraignment Postponed
Diggs won't have his day in court until Feb. 23
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs had his request to postpone his arraignment granted by a judge, as shared by WCVB on Friday.
Diggs is now scheduled to be arraigned in Dedham District Court on Feb. 23 — two weeks after the Super Bowl — instead of the previously scheduled date of Jan. 23.
Diggs is facing a felony criminal charge as a result of an incident in which allegedly “tried to choke” his female private chef over a paycheck dispute on Dec. 2.
David Meier, the veteran wide receiver’s lawyer, released the following statement on his behalf:
“Stefon Diggs categorically denies these allegations. They are unsubstantiated, uncorroborated, and were never investigated — because they did not occur. The timing and motivation for making the allegations is crystal clear: they are the direct result of an employee-employer financial dispute that was not resolved to the employee’s satisfaction. Stefon looks forward to establishing the truth in a court of law.”
The Patriots have stood by their leading wide receiver as the legal process has played out, saying they supported him a statement released after the accusations were made public.
