During the proceedings, Mixon entered his plea ... and his bond was set at $10,000.
As we reported, Mixon was initially charged with aggravated menacing on Feb. 2 -- after prosecutors said he threatened to shoot a woman during a road rage incident on Jan. 21.
The charge was dismissed after officials said they needed "additional investigation" -- but it was refiled on April 7 after authorities said they found new evidence in the case.
The Bengals said in a statement at the time of the refiling that they were aware of the charge and were "monitoring the situation."
