Although Johnny Manziel still isn’t making headlines for his play on the field, the 21-year-old QB is off-the-field. Cleveland Scene’s Doug Brown is reporting that Manziel got into a brawl with 33-year-old Sandusky resident Chris Gonos, after Gonos wanted to give Manziel a hug.
Gonos told police he pointed Manziel out to his girlfriend: “That’s Johnny Manziel.” Then he approached him.
According to the report, “at this time victim stated to the unidentified male, ‘I’m the biggest Browns fan ever, I love you, I want to give you a hug.'”
Gonos stepped towards Manziel and was promptly punched in the face, the alleged victim’s account to police says, followed by a beat down by Manziel’s crew, giving the man a “swollen lip, right eye swollen, red face.” A security guard intervened and also was hurt.
Update from Cle Scene is that Manziel’s entourage punched Gonos brother.
Browns released this statement:
