Josh Jacobs faces two misdemeanor charges in Wisconsin
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been charged with misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property, court records in Wisconsin show.
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been formally charged in Brown County, Wisconsin, with misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage to property, according to court records released this week. The case comes as the NFL weighs its own response.
ESPN reported that the charges were filed after an earlier arrest tied to a domestic incident. Yahoo Sports said Jacobs had initially faced five counts, including a felony strangulation allegation, before the case was reduced.
The filings place the matter before Wisconsin authorities while the league reviews the situation under its conduct policy. No court date or league decision was included in the reports.
Jacobs, one of Green Bay’s top offensive players, joined the Packers after spending the first five seasons of his NFL career with the Las Vegas Raiders.
