He was arraigned in court Sept. 9, but posted bail and was released that same day. The complaint, filed by Daniel Alonso, was categorized as an assault and battery penalty code under Virginia law.
Sanchez will appear for a follow-up arraignment Oct. 8.
Sanchez has been arrested previously for marijuana possession in Georgia in August 2010.
