A man reportedly involved in an incident also said to involve junior forward J.R. Giddens appeared before the Johnson District County Court on Monday charged with two felony counts of aggravated assault in an apparently unrelated matter. According to the Lawrence Journal-World, Jeremiah Creswell, 24, was arrested for threatening his mother, Beverly Creswell, and uncle, Randall Wilson, with a steak knife.

The Kansan previously reported that Giddens suffered a sliced artery in his right calf during a fight in the parking lot of the Moon Bar, 821 Iowa St., on May 19, according to Lawrence police. Witnesses said Giddens, along with ten other men, attacked Giddens after the bar had closed. According to the Kansas City Star, Creswell cut Giddens with a four-inch knife.

In the latest incident, Creswell appeared before the Johnson County court via video from the Johnson County Adult Detention Facility. Magistrate James Phelan set Creswell’s bond at $50,000 and ordered him not to contact his mother, his uncle or three other family members, according to the Lawrence Journal-World. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 23. A court-appointed lawyer will represent Creswell, who faces up to 42 months in prison if found guilty, according to the Kansas City Star.

Creswell is also set to appear June 27 at the Topeka Municipal Court on separate charges. After he failed to appear in court last September, Topeka police issued a warrant for his arrest. Creswell was charged with criminal property damages, interfering with an officer and disobeying a lawful order
