    After nearly a week of the Indianapolis parking lot incident, Mark Sanchez was released from a hospital as his stabbing wounds were treated on Sunday, October 12, after which he was booked into the Marion County jail. 

    After his mugshot and fingerprints were taken, the former NFL quarterback was released on bail, but has been ordered to return to the Marion County court next month - November 5 - for the charges he faces. 

    In the wake of Sanchez's release, Bobby T - his former girlfriend and the mother of his son - shared a statement on Instagram. The UK model wrote about the safety of their son - Daniel - being her "foremost priority," in the face of the stabbing incident. She further hinted at having an idea of his violent tendencies, writing:

    "I have always been concerned for his safety and for what he is exposed to. Sadly, none of this is surprising to me... I still know only what is publicly available. My thoughts and empathy are with the victim and everyone affected by this devastating event."

    While the exact timeline of Bobby T's relationship with Mark Sanchez remains unknown, the latter tied the knot with his wife, Perry Mattfeld, two years ago, in May 2023. 

    Mattfeld, who is an actress, first met Mark in Chicago in 2017. They started dated soon afterwards, and got engaged six years later. In February 2024, the couple revealed they were pregnant with twins, who were born later that year.

    After thanking the surgeon who treated him - Dr. Lindsey Mossler - Sanchez expressed his desire to return home to his family, saying:

    "I just want to see my wife, I want to see my son, my two baby girls."

    According to CBS Sports, Mark was initially arrested on charges of public intoxication, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle, and battery with injury. However, he now faces an upgraded Level 5 felonny batter charge for his fight with Perry Tole. 

    If the ex-NFL player is found guilty of the charge, he could face up to five years behind bars.
