Pouncey Twins Won’t Be Charged In Alleged South Beach Club Fight

Over the summer Mike Pouncey and his brother, along with security were accused of attacking a man in a Miami nightclub for being gay.There was a big debacle over it — instagram videos, press conferences, and more. Witnesses at the club that night said the Pouncey brothers were not involved and it looks like law enforcement believes the same.

A July 12 brawl at Cameo nightclub left several people injured. But in their case close-out memo, the state attorney’s office concluded there is insufficient credible evidence to charge Maurkice Pouncey – identified by victims as their assailant – or anyone else with battery.

Here’s why:

“Victims and witnesses advised that the music was very loud and the club was very crowded with a lot of pushing and shoving by many people,” prosecutors said. “The Cameo Club did provide our office with a video but it was of no probative value because the room was so crowded that we could not distinguish anyone including the alleged victims or subjects in the video.

“In addition, we were provided with many different versions of the incident that raised serious and unresolved proof and credibility issues,” the office continued. “Consequently, we cannot determine whether the injuries sustained by the alleged victims resulted from an intentional and unwanted touching or an unintentional touching resulting from the shoving and pushing of the crowd of people who were in a space too small to accommodate so many.”

The attorney for primary accuser Riquan James, who took to social media the night of the incident to show pictures of his injuries, said his client is “incredibly disappointed” with the decision not to charge Maurkice Pouncey.

For months now, Mike Pouncey appeared to be in the clear. However, Miami Beach police had said in August that they believed they had enough evidence for the state to charge Maurkice with misdemeanor battery. After a two-month inquiry, prosecutors ultimately decided not to go forward.
