Police open criminal investigation into Johnny Manziel
“I truly believe if they can’t get him help, he won’t live to see his 24th birthday”.
His father, Paul Manziel, said the family had tried unsuccessfully to put him in rehab since the alleged incident with Crowley.
After taking his son to Carrollton Springs Hospital, a behavioral health facility located in Carrollton, Texas, he was angered after his son, who he thought to be suicidal was allowed to walk out without being treated.
FILE – In this April 14, 2005 file photo, Johnny Manziel blows a bubble as he watches from the seats behind home plate with Colleen Crowley as the Texas Rangers face the Los Angeles Angels in a baseball game at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas.
With all of the trouble Johnny Manziel has found himself in over the past few weeks, headlined with the domestic violence investigation surrounding Manziel, there haven’t been many people around to offer help.
As there are many emotional factors involved, it is not uncommon for a victim of domestic violence to question or delay reporting an assault. The statement listed the Cleveland Browns quarterback as the suspect and said detectives would investigate and determine whether criminal charges were warranted. In addition to the protective order, WTAA-TV reported the Tarrant County judge ordered Manziel to pay $12,000 in legal fees associated with the case.
Manziel and Crowley then left the hotel after he struck her and drove to the latter’s apartment in Fort Worth. While there, Manziel is believed to have hit Crowley several times before forcing her into a vehicle and telling her to, “shut up or I’ll kill us both”.
Crowley’s attorney, Katherine Kinser, did not immediately return a phone call. However, Dallas police said Friday they have reopened the investigation.
Might not be so easy for the 23-year-old star in a tailspin. “He was brokenhearted, so I took my clothes off and went out there, and got the dove for him”. Accountability is the foundation of any relationship, and without it the function of my work is counterproductive. “I am hopeful that everyone will understandably respect my wish for privacy at this time”.
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam told reporters on Friday that he hasn’t been able to contact the quarterback.
Get some help, fam.
On Tuesday, the team said: “We’ve been clear about expectations for our players on and off the field”.
Burkhardt isn’t the first to cut business ties with Manziel. I think it’s a personal issue now. That doesn’t make it any better.
