TMZ has learned that Richard Jefferson of the New Jersey Nets is going to be charged with one count of misdemeanor assault over an incident that took place in January.

According to a witness, Jefferson got in a "minor verbal disagreement" at the Graves 601 Hotel in Minneapolis which escalated to the point where Jefferson was on top of a patron, allegedly choking him.

According to the incident report, the New Jersey Nets star left the club, and then encountered the witness, who asked Jefferson to remain until the disagreement was sorted out. The witness says Jefferson responded, "Say another word, I will kick your ass."

Very disappointed in RJ. Maybe he'll be traded to Minnesota so he won't have to travel to the trial and can do his community service locally.

Maybe this will lead to RJ finally getting some street rep around the NBA.

Or, maybe it'll just lead to RJ jokes referencing Wayne Brady's appearance on Chapelle's Show.

When did RJ start following the Charles Barkley method for dealing with people in bars?

Hey, his game might have dropped off a bit this year, but you can't deny that he got a lot better at beating his man.

*RIMSHOT!*

[bbwSwish]

Haha, Jefferson needs to limit his choking to his chicken while watching gay porn.

LMAO, or how about the timely Nets Daily piece about the Nets' decline in 07-08 in taking charges this year? Not RJ's fault since he's taking his share of charges.

I wonder if he beats Luke...?

 

[bling890]

Richard Jefferson and his lawyer are vigorously denying misdemeanor assault charges brought by a Minneapolis DA, saying the alleged victim had been “incredibly drunk” and “disrespectful”. RJ’s lawyer says Jefferson “had grabbed him, put him down” before walking away. Jefferson denied he had choked Lyle Fox and suggested Fox had sought to have him charged so he can later file a civil suit.</div>
