Johnny Manziel's attorney accidentally sends text message claiming he might have spent $1,000 at drug paraphernalia store

Johnny Manziel's lawyer, Bob Hinton (right), accidentally sent a text to the Associated Press, claiming his client may have spent $1,000 at a drug paraphernalia store and expressed his doubts that Manziel (right) can stay clean. 


Hinton's text indicated Manziel's legal team was seeking a plea deal with prosecutors, but suggested that could be tricky. The 23-year-old is accused of hitting and threatening former girlfriend Colleen Crowley during a night out in January. He faces a misdemeanor assault charge that carries a penalty of up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine.
