Man Alleges Pouncey Brothers Beat Him Up
A man says that Dolphins center Mike Pouncey and his brother Maurkice assaulted him at Cameo Nightclub in Miami Beach last night, where the often-troubled Dolphins center and his twin behemoth brother were holding their annual birthday bash.
UPDATE: "There was an incident that occurred at Cameo last night at 4:20 a.m., where an alleged assault took place," Miami Beach Police Sgt. Bobby Hernandez tells New Times. "We have not confirmed it's the Pouncey brothers that are the subjects, but we are going to have detectives contacting the victims to investigate further."
Cameo -- for those who remember -- is also the same spot the twins found themselves at last year donning "Free Hernandez" caps in honor of their alleged murderous friend and former teammate Aaron.

Last night, though, wasn't about silly hats and smiling brothers. It was, however, still about poor judgment.
At 4:53 a.m. a man named Ricky Vasquez, who describes himself on Twitter as "Event Host. Choreographer. Stylist. TeaOlogist. Free Spirit. Socialite. IG: iRickyVasquez" and has over 7,000 followers tweeted out something harrowing.
I just got jumped by 4 bouncers and the Pouncey Twins at Cameo. I'm going to press charges. My face is swollen.
This **** is NOT over. I'm ****ing 5'6" both of guys play for the ****ing NFL.
What exactly set off the Pouncey's and what happened afterward is still being learned, but Vasquez took to his Instagram with multiple videos of him either in tears or trying to explain what happened.
"I didn't know that stuff like this actually ****ing happens to people," he says in one video. "All I can remember is standing in a crowded club and this big guy keeps hitting me in my back, I look at him and I'm like, OK, he's obviously turned up. And he just keeps hitting me. I ignore it. I keep ignoring the guy -- he's calling me a ***got. I realize that there's two of the guys. Now they're both in my face. The next thing I know, Honey tries to break it up. One of them punches Honey in the face, the other one punches me or the same one, I don't know. Security comes.
The woman Vasquez calls Honey also took to social media, her caption reading: "Went inside @Cameomia 10 minutes just to be punched in my face by Marquise [sic] Pouncey for trying to stop him and his brother mike from beating the **** out of my friend @irickyvasquez. Filed a report even though the Police said nothing probably will be done about this situation. These athletes get on all these ****in drugs and act an *** knowing they will be protected by these clubs because of how much money they spend in their clubs but I'm not gonna let this **** rest. I'm a female and I won't Stand for no man putting their hands on me."
According to Miami Beach Police, however, no reports have been filed.
"Usually, if there's an incident involving a celebrity, there's a special incident report and I haven't seen or heard anything. I'm sure I would have," Miami Beach Police Sgt. Bobby Hernandez tells New Times.
"I would tell the victim, they need to file a police report and come forth, otherwise it's just speculation and we can't disparage someone's name just because they say so," Hernandez says. "And what she says about what the police told her has to be absolutely false. I think even Justin Bieber can attest -- we don't give anyone special treatment here, it's just a matter of her actually coming forward and filing a report

Maurkice Pouncey accused of assaulting man, hitting a woman, at Miami Beach night club

Pouncey is being accused via social media, and allegedly in a police report a female victim claims to have filed, that the Steelers center punched her, along with he and his twin brother punching a man at a Miami Beach club early Saturday morning.
Maurkice Pouncey and his twin brother Mike seem to have newsworthy birthday parties each year. Last year, it was the "Free Hernandez" gear, this year, based on an allegation from two people via social media early Saturday morning, it's assault.
The Pounceys are accused of attacking a club-goer, according to a man identified as "iRickyVasquez" on Instagram. He says both Pounceys attacked him and he was "jumped by four bouncers" as well.

Another participant in the alleged skirmish, identified as "pretty_moneymmg" on Instagram, wrote a scathing account of what happened, including an accusation that Maurkice Pouncey punched her, and that she had filed a report with the police.
"Went inside @Cameomia 10 minutes just to be punched in my face by Marquise [sic] Pouncey for trying to stop him and his brother mike from beating the **** out of my friend @irickyvasquez. Filed a report even though the Police said nothing probably will be done about this situation. These athletes get on all these ****in drugs and act an *** knowing they will be protected by these clubs because of how much money they spend in their clubs but I'm not gonna let this **** rest. I'm a female and I won't Stand for no man putting their hands on me."
Without hearing a second side to this, it's hard to cast any particular light. Fights in clubs aren't exactly rare, and it's very common both sides involved share some degree of fault.
However, considering Maurkice was just made the NFL's highest paid center, and Mike won't be far behind that, if not ahead of it, it would have taken a fairly significant event for either of them to feel it was wise to engage in any kind of conduct like what allegedly happened.
The fact the woman allegedly filed a report with police won't do well for either Pouncey, considering the NFL has the ability to suspend without legal charges being filed. Ravens running back Ray Rice is expected to be suspended for to some degree this season for a domestic dispute charge stemming from an incident with his now wife at an Atlantic City casino.
