Just Released: Police, City Officials Slam Court’s Diversion Decision After Ex-Patriot’s Gym Assault Video Released
Former New England Patriots fullback Patrick Pass was arrested after an altercation with an 82-year-old man at a Planet Fitness in 2024.
Footage shows Pass pushing the man backward during the dispute, and police say they disagree with the court’s handling of the case.
The court placed Pass in a diversion program rather than pursuing trial.
North Providence Mayor Charles Lombardi stated, “If you push [or] hurt an 82-year-old person, I don’t think there’s any room for forgiveness.”
Pass was initially charged with assault on a person over 60 causing bodily injury and disorderly conduct in connection with the incident.
