Broncos' Jonathon Cooper Arrested for Second Time in a Week, Issued Stricter No-Contact Order

Officials added felony strangulation charges after the Broncos linebacker was booked for allegedly violating a protection order, and a court hearing is set for July 6.

  • Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper was arrested Thursday night for the second time in a week, booked at the Douglas County Sheriff detention facility on charges of domestic violence, harassment, and violation of a protection order.
  • Records indicate the new charges stem from an initial June 4 incident where the victim allegedly endured strangulation with hypoxia and traumatic brain injury, resulting in a court-ordered protection order forbidding contact.
  • According to an arrest affidavit, Cooper violated the protection order by sending 20 messages and making phone calls to his girlfriend Thursday, then knocked on her door for up to 10 minutes after team activities.
  • The Broncos issued a statement saying they are "disappointed to learn of Jonathon Cooper" and continue to review the matter, while NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league is monitoring developments under its personal conduct policy.
  • NFL precedent suggests a "baseline suspension" of six games for domestic violence infractions, regardless of court outcomes, as Cooper faces motions hearings and a potential jury trial beginning July 22.
