Attorney: Bryant McKinnie pleads not guilty to charges from brawl

MIAMI — Minnesota Vikings tackle Bryant McKinnie has pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from a street brawl outside a Miami nightclub last month.

McKinnie’s attorney, Larry Kerr, said Monday that McKinnie also requested a jury trial.

McKinnie faces charges including aggravated battery, which is a felony, and three misdemeanors after a street brawl outside Club Space in February.

A police report said officers found McKinnie “in the middle of a large crowd, throwing punches and again yelling obscenities.”

Kerr said McKinnie was not in court Monday. The next court date is April 11. Kerr declined to comment further about the case.
