Jeffery Simmons Assault
The incident, which was recorded and disseminated on the internet, shows Simmons repeatedly punching the woman who had gotten into a fight with his sister. And the woman is seen lying face-down on the ground. And Simmons, standing over her, is seen punching her for about four seconds before retreating.
This happened in 2016 when Simmons was still in high school and before he enrolled at Mississippi State.
Simmons pleaded no contest to simple assault in July of 2016. He was fined $175 for his simple assault plea, and was fined another $300 for being found guilty of malicious mischief. He was to pay at least $800 in restitution.
MSU shielded Simmons from much media scrutiny, but in one availability he apologized for his actions to the woman her family. He also spoke of carrying a 4.0 grade point average his first semester at MSU.
And he addressed the troubling video.
“During the time, I really didn’t know I did that and when I actually watched the video, I kind of had a mental breakdown like, ‘Dang, this can’t be true,’”
