The charges arise from a lawsuit filed by a man who accuses Broner of pointing a handgun at him during a dispute over gambling in January and knocking him unconscious.

Broner was indicted on an aggravated robbery charge, a first-degree felony that carries a maximum sentence of three to 10 years. He also was indicted on second-degree charges of felonious assault and robbery, which carry sentences of two to eight years. Bond was set at $100,000. No date has been set for a pretrial hearing.

The 26-year-old boxer also was jailed in Cincinnati this month for violating probation in an unrelated reckless driving case.
