According to Jeff Passan, Ozuna was arrested in Sandy Springs, GA on charges of aggravated assault strangulation and misdemeanor battery – family violence. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

If the case goes to trial, the aggravated assault strangulation charges carries a minimum sentence of a year behind bars and a maximum of 20. Passen didn’t provide further details about what caused Ozuna to be arrested.

Obviously, this is an incredibly serious situation, and Ozuna has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

That’s our system here, and we should all be thankful for it.

Having said that, this isn’t some minor alleged incident. He’s facing up to 20 years behind bars if he’s convicted.

Hopefully, the authorities can get to the bottom of what happened. Clearly, Ozuna is in a very serious situation.
