New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is facing criminal charges after an incident involving his private chef earlier this month.

Court documents show Diggs has been charged with felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault and battery related to the Dec. 2 incident.

Boston media outlets reported that Diggs’ attorneys appeared in court Tuesday in Dedham in an effort to keep the details sealed.

According to the police report obtained by 12 News on Tuesday afternoon, the chef went to the Dedham police station on Dec. 16 to report the alleged assault and was initially hesitant to name the suspect, given his fame.
