Deion Sanders says his wife and a friend attacked him, and he’s pressing charges

Deion Sanders is involved in a divorce with his wife, Pilar, that has become nasty at times. Pilar has made some damaging accusations about her soon-to-be ex-husband, and Deion has shot back. But things got really bad between them recently if the following two tweets sent from Deion’s account on Monday afternoon are true:

Pray for me and my kids now! They just witnessed their mother and a friend jump me in my room. She’s going to jail n I’m pressing charges!

I’m sad my boys witnessed this mess but I warned the police department here that she was gone try n harm me and my boys. This is on my mama!

Sanders then tweeted that he and his kids were filling out a police report, and he included a picture:

If you’re wondering why he would take this information public, it’s probably because he’s looking to gain a favorable judgment in his divorce. He’s also sacrificing some public embarrassment for himself and his family over the incident.

UPDATE: Pilar was arrested for the alleged assault and booked for “assault family violence.”
