The report says deputies initially responded to a report of shots fired at about 8:30 p.m. on Monday.
During the night, deputies put crime scene tape around the house. At about 11:30 p.m., deputies were seen banging on Mixon’s door and telling the homeowner to come out.
At about 1:30 a.m., a law enforcement officer arrived with an envelope of documents, and shortly after deputies entered the house and were seen searching with flashlights.
The crime scene tape was taken down around 3:20 a.m. and deputies left without making an arrest.
A month ago, misdemeanor aggravated menacing charges were filed against Mixon, but those charges were dismissed the next day.
The 26-year-old Mixon has spent his entire six-year NFL career with the Bengals. Bengals director of player personnel Duke Tobin said last week that he doesn’t know if the Bengals will retain Mixon, who is under contract with a cap hit of $12.8 million for the 2023 season.

Bengals running back Joe Mixon’s home was surrounded by crime scene tape late Monday night, hours after the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office said one juvenile was taken to the hospital following a shooting in Anderson Township.
Deputies responded to the 7900 block of Ayers Road for the report of shots fired at around 8:30 p.m. Monday. One juvenile was taken to the hospital with what the sheriff’s office referred to as minor injuries.
Deputies were seen on the property where previous court documents say Mixon resides. It is unclear if the shooting took place at his home. Deputies could be heard yelling, “If you’re inside, come on out.”
A WCPO 9 crew on the scene saw deputies enter the home around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday with flashlights.
The police tape was taken down around 3:15 a.m. Before investigators left the scene, they told WCPO that one person was inside the home but they wouldn’t confirm their identity. According to police, no arrests have been made.
“This is an active investigation. That is all we have to release at this time,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
