Johnny Manziel: Police ‘actively working’ on Manziel’s case
The website cleveland.com reports Fort Worth police confirmed they are looking into the incident, but added that Manziel has not been formally charged with any offense.
The 23-year-old former Heisman Trophy victor threw for 1,500 yards, seven touchdowns and five interceptions in six starts (nine games) for the Browns this season.
Police were called to investigate an incident involving Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel in Fort Worth, Texas, this weekend.
This isn’t the first time police have gotten involved after an incident between Manziel and his girlfriend, Colleen Elizabeth Crowley. An ambulance was called, but she was not taken to a hospital.
Fort Worth police tried calling Manziel’s cell phones and searching for him with help from the “Air One Unit” helicopter when the ex-girlfriend told officers she was concerned for his well-being.
A preliminary investigation revealed a possible assault had occurred in Dallas, but the ex-girlfriend did not cooperate with the officers, who could find no evidence of a crime in Fort Worth, police said. Police later determined that Manziel was safe and not in danger.
The first witness who called 911 said Manziel sped down the left shoulder of Interstate 90 west at an estimated 90 miles per hour and cut over several lanes before exiting at Nagel Road, according to the police report. All this was before yet another report about Johnny Manziel seemingly being involved in all the wrong things off the field.
The Browns had no immediate comment Saturday.
Giants: The New York Police Department is investigating allegations by a woman that defensive lineman Jay Bromley attempted to rape her and that he struck her with his auto early Saturday morning, according to reports.
“Your leadership has to be able to deal with players and I don’t think that Johnny is a bad guy”, Brown said. He missed no practice time and took all but 10 of the team’s offensive snaps this season. The earliest the Browns can release him is February 8, the day after the Super Bowl, when the waiver wire reopens. Either way, teams can’t make trades until the new league year begins at 4 p.m. March 9. Less than a week after being named the Browns’ starter in mid-November, a video surfaced online of Manziel holding a bottle at an Austin club during the team’s bye week. “I don’t think they’re going to have to worry about me this week”.
