NFL’er Jonathan Dwyer Arrested for Domestic Violence

According to Fox News, an incident happened on July 21st and was “aggravated assault causing a fracture” to a 27-year-old victim. The victim alleged that Dwyer threw a shoe at her 18-month-old son. Police said Dwyer admitted to the incidents, but denied physical assaults during an interview with detectives.

The site reports:

Neighbors heard a fight and called police, who showed up at the residence. Police Sgt. Trent Crump said Dwyer hid in the bathroom until police left. The next day, Crump said Dwyer snatched the woman’s cellphone and threw it from the second floor of their home to prevent her from calling police about another dispute. The woman came forward last week, providing police with information about her injuries and text messages that indicated Dwyer “was going to harm himself because of what had been going on,” police said.

The NFL has come under public scrutiny, since a videotape surfaced running back Ray Rice knocking out his then-fiancee Janay Palmer. Also last week, Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson was indicted on child abuse charges. The NFL said the case will be reviewed under the league’s personal-conduct policy.
