Johnny Manziel being investigated following altercation
Browns QB Johnny Manziel is being investigated by police in Texas following a disturbance during which he may have assaulted his ex-girlfriend. The reported assault occurred while the two were in Dallas earlier in the evening.
The Dallas Police Department was notified of a possible disturbance.
However, the woman told officers she was concerned about Manziel’s welfare. Police attempted to call his phone number multiple times, checking locations within the jursidisction and using an Air One Unit.
In the October incident, several witnesses called police after seeing Manziel and a woman arguing in a vehicle. Fort Worth and Dallas police are working together to determine if any criminal offense took place.
Even if no charges are filed against Manziel, the National Football League could still discipline him for the incident.
FORT WORTH, TX – Investigation/Information. The altercation with his girlfriend certainly won’t help his cause. Manziel’s personal problems have undoubtedly harmed his trade value, perhaps so much that no franchise would give up anything for him. And his two-year stint with the team has been rocky at best.
It’s the second time Manziel is being investigated for possible domestic violence.
Avon, Ohio, police questioned Manziel and the woman but made no arrests.
Some information in this report was taken from Star-Telegram archives. Crowley told police that Manziel beat her and shoved her heard into the glass of the auto, but later said he didn’t hurt her. He admitted then he had been drinking earlier in the day. An investigation determined that a possible assault had occurred, but the female was uncooperative and no crime scene could be located. Crowley expressed concern of Manziel’s well-being and whereabouts. “An information report was completed regarding an altercation between Manziel and his girlfriend”.
Police were called early Saturday morning and responded, according to a release provided by the police. An email sent Saturday to Manziel agent, Erik Burkhardt, was not immediately returned.
He voluntarily entered a rehabilitation facility in January 2015 for four months.
“I think Johnny made progress on the field previous year”.
“I’m still looking forward to playing on Super Bowl Sunday”, he says with a wide, knowing grin.
In 2012, Manziel burst onto the national scene as quarterback at Texas A&M and became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy.
“We talked to Johnny before he left”, Haslam said. New head coach Hue Jackson has reportedly gotten support in his belief that the team should cut ties with the their troubled quarterback. The Leaf comparison is a strong one to just throw out there, but it might actually be fitting because both were talented quarterbacks at the collegiate level, but their attitude issues and run ins with the law are an issue with both of them, according to ESPN. Soon after, he suffered a concussion and did not attend the team’s season final game.
