An arrest warrant has been issued for former Denver Broncos wide receiver David Kircus after he failed to show up for a court hearing.
The hearing was scheduled for Friday. District attorney's spokeswoman Kathleen Walsh says Kircus' attorney was there but Kircus was not.
Kircus pleaded not guilty to a felony assault charge stemming from a fight at a party in suburban Denver in May 2007.
Friday's hearing was rescheduled for Oct. 17. His trial is scheduled to begin Oct. 20.
If convicted, Kircus could be sentenced to 5 to 16 years in prison.
An Arapahoe County sheriff's report says Kircus hit a man in the eye after being escorted from a house. The incident put the 26-year-old victim in the hospital with multiple facial fractures.
