If convicted, Sanchez would face a sentence ranging between one and six years, Mears said.<\/p>\n<p>Sanchez, who has been an NFL game analyst for Fox Sports since 2021, was hospitalized with multiple stab wounds following the altercation early Saturday morning.<\/p>\n<p>The incident stemmed from what Mears described as a dispute over where a man was parked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This was a situation that did not need to occur,&#8221; Mears said. &#8220;The allegations involve a 38-year-old man becoming involved in an altercation with a 69-year-old man who sustained significant and very severe injuries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mears said the investigation was still in its early stages and additional charges could be filed.<\/p>\n<p>This is a breaking news story.
