According to a police report obtained by the Washington Post, Jackson allegedly punched pizza delivery driver Jose Bonilla-Fuentes in the face because Bonilla-Fuentes parked in Jackson's spot. Jackson lives in an area that has assigned parking spaces and Bonilla-Fuentes had briefly parked in the spot so he could deliver a pizza.
The alleged victim joined the Kent Sterling Show on CBS Sports radio in Indianapolis on Wednesday and tried to explain what happened.
"What happened is that a crazy guy tried to choke me," Bonilla-Fuentes said.
The pizza delivery driver also added that Jackson said he was "going to kill me."
According to Bonilla-Fuentes, Jackson became remorseful after the cops got involved.
"He come to me and say 'Please, please I'll give you whatever money you need, but don't do nothing, don't let the police take me,'" Bonilla-Fuentes said.
The Colts released a statement on Wednesday regarding Jackson's incident.
"The Indianapolis Colts have been made aware that D'Qwell Jackson was charged yesterday in DC with a count of simple assault," the team said. "When the Club learns more of the surrounding facts, it will make an appropriate statement."
Jackson just finished his first season with the Colts after signing a four-year, $22 million deal back in March.
Jackson was at the center of Deflategate for awhile after it was reported that he discovered the deflated footballs after picking off Tom Brady in the AFC Championship Game. Jackson later said the report wasn't true.
As for Tuesday's simple assault charge, you can hear the entire interview with Bonilla-Fuentes below.
