Colts linebacker D’Qwell Jackson was found guilty of misdemeanor simple assault Monday.

Jackson was arrested in Washington, D.C., in February, 2015 after a confrontation with a pizza delivery driver over a parking space. The driver, Jose Bonilla-Fuentes, alleged that Jackson said he was “going to kill me.”

Sentencing is scheduled for April 6 and Jackson faces up 180 days in jail and a maximum $1,000 fine. Bonilla-Fuentes has also filed a civil suit against Jackson.
