According to NBC News, Mutu told deputies that for the past week, someone had been throwing eggs at his apartment. The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said that when it happened again on Saturday, he saw the 11-year-old walking nearby and assumed it was her.

Mutu was charged with attacking the 11-year-old girl. His bond was set at $6,000, and he has bonded out of jail.
