Court records show thatBengals running back Joe Mixon pleaded not guilty to one count of aggravated menacing, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Mixon, 26, was granted recognizance for a $10,000 bond, according to Hamilton County court records, and he requested a jury trial. He was ordered to have no contact with the woman.

Mixon's attorneys submitted the request Wednesday morning in his first court appearance for the alleged incident that occurred Jan. 21. It's the same case that was dismissed by the city prosecutor's office before it was refiled April 7.

Cincinnati officials allege that Mixon pointed a firearm at a woman and threatened to shoot her in the face, according to an affidavit.

According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Mixon was on his way to the team facilities as the Bengals prepared to travel to Buffalo for an AFC divisional playoff game. Mixon had 20 carries for 105 yards and a touchdown in the 27-10 win over the Buffalo Bills as Cincinnati reached the AFC Championship Game for the second straight year.

The case was initially dismissed less than 24 hours after the charge was filed. Peter Schaffer, Mixon's agent, told ESPN and other outlets the charge was a "rush to judgments." City officials said at the time that there was a possibility the charge could be resubmitted upon further investigation.
