""This incident should never have happened," Marion County prosecutor Ryan Mears said in a statement issued Sunday. "What began as a disagreement between a 38-year-old professional athlete and a 69-year-old man should not have escalated into violence or left anyone seriously injured. As with any case, we willl follow the facts and the law wherever they lead.""
"According to an affidavit for probable cause obtained by multiple outlets, Sanchez allegedly accosted a truck driver at a loading dock. According to the affidavit, the confrontation escalated to the point where the truck driver believed he was in danger, sprayed Sanchez in the face with pepper spray and, with Sanchez still advancing toward him, said he thought "this guy is trying to kill me." According to the affidavit, the truck driver then pulled his knife and, with Sanchez still coming at him, said he struck Sanchez "two or three times." The truck driver then said he was thrown against a dumpster and onto the ground and believed he was in a "life-or-death situation." The driver, according to the affidavit, then said "a look of shock" came to Sanchez's face and then Sanchez "took off.""
