Mugshot: Michael Oher surrenders to Nashville police following assault allegation
The offseason hasn’t gone as planned for Michael Oher as the former Ole Miss left tackle found himself booked in a Nashville this week.
Now an offensive lineman for the Carolina Panthers, and most notably the inspiration for the Academy-nominated “The Blind Side” movie, Oher’s charge stems from an incident which took place April 14 in Nashville involving an Uber driver. Oher is accused of assaulting the driver following a dispute which began during the ride given by the Uber drive.
Following the incident, Oher was cited for misdemeanor assault. The next step in the case will be a June court date in Nashville.
Here’s Oher’s mugshot, taken Monday in Nashville:
