Lawyer responds to allegations

Reedus’s attorney, Priya Chaudhry, in a statement to TMZ, said, "Mingus is presumed innocent and has pled not guilty. As the facts emerge, his innocence will become clear." She also claimed that the woman had attempted to take sleeping pills to end her life and that the couple had already ended their five-month relationship before the incident. Following the arrest, the woman was seen leaving the NYPD’s 10th Precinct and reportedly described the situation as a misunderstanding.
