Patriots Rookie Quintayvious Hutchins Charged With Domestic Assault
New England Patriots rookie edge rusher Quintayvious Hutchins has been charged with domestic assault and better on a family/household member. The Patriots' seventh round pick out of Boston College was drafted with the 247th overall selection in last month's draft.
Hutchins pleaded not guilty to all the charges and was released on personal recognizance, according to court documents. The 23-year-old Hutchins was arraigned in Newton District Court Wednesday morning after the alleged incident took place on Tuesday.
The Patriots drafted Hutchins out of BC after a long career with the Eagles. He took part in New England's three-day rookie minicamp last weekend, but left the second day of practice with an apparent injury. He signed his rookie contract following the session.
Quintayvious Hutchins Was In Court This Week
Hutchins had plenty of connections with New England during the pre-draft process. He was invited to the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama before getting chosen to participate in the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. He later met with head coach Mike Vrabel at BC's Pro Day before participating in the Patriots' local pro day in April.
The Patriots released a statement following the news was made public, saying, "We are aware of the report involving Quintayvious Hutchins. We take these matters very seriously and are in the process of gathering additional information. We will not have further comment at this time."
According to court documents, Hutchins is represented by Michael DiStefano -- from the same same legal practice (Todd & Weld LLP.) that originally represented Stefon Diggs and Christian Barmore during their legal proceedings last winter.
WBZ Radio was the first to report the news.
