Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson faces a December court date on a charge of simple assault, the Kansas City Star reports.
According to Kansas City Municipal Court records, a 26-year-old woman accused Johnson, 28, of using his open hand to push the left side of her head at a nightclub on February 24. The incident allegedly happened at 2:15 a.m.
A police report indicates that the woman and a friend were walking through the club when Johnson moved toward them and pushed the woman, saying, " ... don't touch me."
The woman reportedly replied, "I didn't touch you." One of the woman's friends identified Johnson and they notified the security guards at the club, who did nothing, according to the police report.
Johnson's lawyer, Kevin E.J. Regan, told the Star on Monday that his client had done nothing inappropriate. Regan said an intoxicated woman did throw herself at Johnson that night but was restrained by security. He said his investigation also shows she did not make any complaints to the management, security officers or police, who were at the club that night. And even after she reported the incident to police 11 hours later, police observed no injuries, Regan said.
This is Johnson's third brush with the law since he joined the Chiefs, but he does not have any convictions.
In 2003, he was accused of aggravated assault and misdemeanor domestic battery when he was accused of brandishing a gun during an argument with a former girlfriend. Those charges were dropped after he agreed to enter a domestic-violence diversion program.
In 2005, a woman accused Johnson of pulling her to the exit of a Kansas City bar and pushing her to the floor after an argument. That woman later changed her story and insisted that she did not want to press charges against Johnson. Prosecutors dropped the assault charge after she missed three court hearings.

As long as he has money to keep paying these people off, he will be fine. He needs to go back to his domestic-violence diversion program. It didn't work. I think a man is a coward for hitting women.

Johnson’s accuser gives her side of incident
By MARK MORRIS
The Kansas City Star
The woman accusing Chiefs running back Larry Johnson of assault said Tuesday that she no longer allows her daughter to wear his jersey.
Tashell Johns, 26, said she couldn’t permit her daughter to wear the number of someone she felt showed so little respect for women.
“She can be a Chiefs fan if she wants to, but I can’t allow that,” Johns said.
Johnson’s lawyer, Kevin E.J. Regan, said that his client did nothing inappropriate to Johns in the early morning of Feb. 24 at Zen, a nightclub at 3832 Main St. As Regan described it, club security officers, not Johnson, restrained Johns after she “threw herself toward him.”
Johnson is facing a municipal ordinance violation related to the incident and is expected to appear in court in December.
Johns told police that she and a friend were walking through the crowded club, hand in hand to keep from being separated, when Johnson moved through the crowd toward them and pushed her.
In a telephone interview with The Kansas City Star, Johns disputed Regan’s characterization of her as behaving in “an intoxicated manner.” Johns said she had been at Zen since about 11:30 p.m. and had consumed one alcoholic beverage early on.
By the time of the alleged pushing incident — 2:15 a.m. — she was completely sober, Johns said.
“I did have a drink, but one drink will not intoxicate me,” Johns said.
She alleged that right before Johnson put his hand on her face and shoved her backward, she had raised her hand to signal to another friend at the club.
“I guess he assumed I was trying to touch him,” Johns said. “I was just trying to show my girlfriend where I was.”
Johns said she elected to delay reporting the incident. Her decision to file the complaint the next afternoon stemmed, in part, from her own experiences growing up with abuse.
“If I can’t allow someone close to me to put hands on me in an unloving way, how could I let this complete stranger do it?” Johns said.
“It’s not something I take lightly at all.”
Regan said he has conducted an extensive investigation of the incident, has lined up “impartial” witnesses for the trial and is convinced Johnson will be vindicated.
“Our evidence is 100 percent clear and certain that Larry Johnson did not put his hands on any woman that night,” Regan said.
Johnson emerged from his two prior legal incidents without convictions. In 2003, he was accused of aggravated assault and misdemeanor domestic battery for allegedly brandishing a gun during an argument with a former girlfriend.
Those charges were dropped the following year after he agreed to enter a domestic-violence diversion program.
In 2005, a woman accused Johnson of pulling her to the exit of a nightspot on the Country Club Plaza and pushing her to the floor after an argument.
That woman later changed her story and insisted that she did not want to press charges against Johnson. Prosecutors dropped the assault charge after she missed three court hearings.

I'm a personal friend of Larry Johnson, I use to have intercourse with him I'm not sure if that accounts as being friends but to the point, Time and time again when we use to fool around I noticed he had two phones and when his momma called him ...
Both of your feet should be out the door! They should've been out the door. He's going to constantly pretend to be into you as long as you have something he wants. That will be over as soon as he gets, or no longer needs, whatever it is you have. ...
If he treats you like this now, it will continue for the rest of your relationship. Next!
i love your pic
