Cardinals running backs coach James Saxon faces two charges of domestic battery in Indiana.

Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports that the charges stem from an incident on May 7 that began at an Indianapolis Costco and continued at the home of a woman. One of the charges is a Level 6 felony for allegedly assaulting a woman in front of a child younger than 16 years old.

That charge carries potential penalties of six months-to-2.5 years in prison and a potential fine of up to $10,000. The other charge is a Class A misdemeanor that carries a potential sentence of up to a year in prison and a potential fine of up to $5,000.

An attorney conference in the case is set for August 25 and a trial date could be set at that time. The team said on Thursday that it is looking into the matter.

  1. Lock him up… while what Watson did was perverted he never was violent that is a very important fact many forget.

  2. How do the Cardinals just let this slide for months without even a peep?

    Keim is up there with Jerruh and Mike Mayock when it comes to being able to evaluate character.

  3. Really, what’s there to argue about at Costco — buying the jumbo or super-jumbo toilet paper package?
