BERKELEY, Calif. - Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson has had a temporary restraining order issued against him for allegedly threatening to kill a man, the Tampa Tribune reported Friday.

A permanent restraining order hearing is scheduled for Feb. 6 in Oakland, Calif.

Johnson "threatened to kill plaintiff and beat him to a pulp,'' the order states. Johnson also allegedly left several messages on an answering machine saying he knows where the man lives and "will get him.''

Johnson admitted to ESPN on Friday night that he had left threatening messages to a man he believed was trying to thwart his efforts to reconcile with his ex-wife. Johnson's attorney told ESPN that Johnson had apologized for the calls.

The plaintiff filed a report with the Oakland Police Department, saying that he started a relationship with Johnson's ex-wife, Shikiri, in August and that Johnson started making threats after finding out about the relationship in October, the Tribune said.

The man also said Johnson said, "I'm going to catch you on the street and I will beat you to a pulp,'' at a funeral Jan. 9 and had to be restrained by several people. The man said he is receiving five to six threatening calls each day since the funeral.

In the complaint, the man stated one of the messages Johnson left claimed he would "get someone else to kill [the man],'' the newspaper added. 

Johnson must stay at least 100 yards away from the plaintiff and cannot do anything "causing or directing any third party from committing any acts.''

The Oakland Police Department want the tapes turned over as evidence.

"The nature of the restraining order [is the result] of criminal threats and more that have been going on for a period of time,'' said attorney Lisa Alexholland, who represents the man allegedly being threatened by Johnson.

"It's overblown,'' said Johnson's agent, Jerome Stanley. "There are things in that report that are exaggerated.''

In unrelated incident, Johnson was mugged at gunpoint Wednesday, robbed of money and jewelry but unhurt, police said.

They said the wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was accosted by two men as he was talking on his cell after walking out of a barber shop.

“Johnson gave up his money and jewelry and the suspects fled,” Lt. Eric Gustafson said.

No arrests have been made.

Johnson, a two-time Pro Bowl receiver, was deactivated for the final six games of last season, and the Buccaneers plan to either trade or release him. He was the first pick in the 1996 draft by the New York Jets, who traded him to Tampa Bay three years ago for two No. 1 draft choices.
