Willie McGinest Charged With Two Felonies Over Restaurant Attack

Willie McGinest is now dealing with major time behind bars for his function in a December restaurant beatdown … TMZ Sports has actually found out the ex-NFL star has actually simply been charged with two felonies.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office submitted the charges today … striking the New England Patriots legend with one count of attack with a fatal weapon, and one count of attack by methods of force most likely to trigger fantastic physical injury.

Each charge brings approximately 4 years in jail.

McGinest’s arraignment in the event has actually been set for April.

We broke the story, McGinest was initially arrested back in late December … after video revealed him and a number of others beating the hell out of a guy on Dec. 9 at Delilah in West Hollywood.

The video appears to reveal McGinest socking the man in the face … prior to later on getting a bottle and smashing it into the guy’s head.

McGinest eventually apologized for his function in the brawl — calling whatever a “lapse in judgment and behavior.”

“To my family, community, friends and youth I mentor,” the 51-year-old stated, “please know I feel horrible for my actions and take full responsibility.”
