Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson has been charged with misdemeanor battery. The charge stems from the alleged August head-butting incident with soon to be ex-wife Evelyn Lozada.
The former NFL wide receiver was arraigned in court today, and a not guilty plea was entered on his behalf by his lawyer, reports TMZ.
Chad, who seemed a little bit nervous, tweeted:
I wish all of you would come to court with me this morning… damn butterflies…—
