Other Women Contacted Police About Previous Incidents with Packers' Josh Jacobs After His Arrest
Police say 3 women described similar allegations after Josh Jacobs’ May arrest, and the NFL is still investigating the Packers running back.
On Friday, the Hobart/Lawrence Police Department released records detailing additional allegations of battery against Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs. Multiple women contacted police following his May arrest to describe similar incidents.
Jacobs was arrested May 26, three days after an incident involving a woman who alleged he threw her to the ground. He pleaded no contest Sept. 10 to misdemeanor counts of battery and criminal damage to property.
One woman alleged a 2022 incident where Jacobs grabbed her hair, pinned her down, and threw her to the floor. She stated he said, "I should kill you right now."
The NFL placed Jacobs on the commissioner's exempt list in August, causing him to miss the Packers' first six games. The league continues investigating and could impose additional discipline on the three-time Pro Bowl running back.
Another woman reported an April 2021 incident involving physical altercations at a residence. Police noted that in one 2022 case, officers observed "no visible signs of injury, bruising or damage consistent with a physical altercation.
