Jim Kelly’s Nephew Chad Kelly's Bar Fight Video Goes Viral; Lawyer: Video Clears Ole Miss Quarterback
A video of recently signed Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly’s bar fight has gone viral on YouTube. In the video, the 20-year-old former local high school football star is seen fighting with two bouncers Clay Hubert and Scott May who are trying to evict him.
Buffalo police officers said Kelly punched one of the bouncers in the face as he refused to leave Encore at 492 Pearl St. around 3:15 a.m. on Dec. 21, Sunday. He even told the bouncers, who suffered minor injuries, he is going to go to his car and get his AK-47 and “spray this place.”
Prior to this, Kelly’s companion Brandon Hickey had been thrown out of the bar and tried to enter again. When arrested, Kelly was said to have resisted getting into a patrol vehicle.
In addition to resisting arrest, Kelly is facing fourth-degree criminal mischief, third-degree assault, second-degree obstructing governmental administration, second-degree harassment and second-degree menacing.
Meanwhile, Kelly’s lawyer Thomas J. Eoannou said actually clears the football player. The lawyer told The Buffalo News that “it remains to be seen who was the aggressor and thankfully it was a scuffle where no one was hurt" and added that Kelly was obviously "not the one who started this incident."
Kelly is the nephew of Buffalo Bills great Jim Kelly. Watch the University of Mississippi football signee’s viral bar fight video here:
