Back in June, the Pouncey brothers were accused of beating up several people at their birthday bash inside Cameo Night Club. Now, the attorney of the victim says that authorities are on the verge of charging Maurkice Pouncey for his role in the brawl, according to Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald.

Maurkice will be charged with misdemeanor battery and that may come as early as Friday, August 8. The attorney said that Mike will not be charged in the incident.

Attorney Jeff Ostrow, who represents the Pounceys, told the Miami Herald late Thursday that, as far as he knew, an assistant state attorney had not been assigned to review the evidence.

“Until such time, no charges can be formally filed against either of my clients," Ostrow continued. "From what we've discovered, the evidence supporting the battery claims is flimsy, at best."

Miami Beach police could not confirm that a charge was coming but multiple people with knowledge of the situation believe that it will happen sooner rather than later. 

“The final meeting with PD and state attorneys is pending,” said Detective Vivian Thayer, a Miami Beach police spokeswoman. “And the direction of where that case goes will be decided at that time.”
