Former Ohio State Player Charged After Allegedly Strangling Girlfriend

Michael Roen McCullough, 25, was arrested after allegedly strangling his girlfriend during a domestic dispute, with injuries including a black eye and bruises, police reported.

  • Police arrested Michael Roen McCullough, 25, about 9 p.m. on Aug. 29 in the 100 block of Marconi Boulevard, Columbus, Ohio, charging him with felony strangulation, the Columbus Division of Police said.
  • Court records show the pair argued while driving home around 9:30 a.m. the morning before the arrest, and the woman told police the dispute occurred in the vehicle and preceded the later domestic violence report.
  • Police records describe the assault as involving throat-grabbing and multiple punches; the woman said McCullough broke her phone, pushed her against a window, and officers saw a black eye, cut, swollen lip, and throat bruise.
  • McCullough is being held without bond in the Franklin County Jail and faces arraignment in Franklin County Municipal Court on Tuesday.
  • McCullough, a former Ohio State walk-on long snapper from 2018–2020, graduated from Worthington Kilbourne High School and medically retired in 2021, according to an X account post noting a recent serious accident.
