Jonathon Cooper will have his day in court after being arrested on suspicion of criminal mischief with a domestic violence enhancer.
The Denver Broncos outside linebacker appeared in a Douglas County, Colorado court and pled not guilty on Monday morning to misdemeanor domestic violence charges.
Cooper and his girlfriend were arrested last Thursday after Parker (Colorado) police responded to a “domestic incident” between the two. Cooper was arrested at 11:16 p.m. and spent the night in jail. His girlfriend was also arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic violence with an additional charge of petty criminal mischief.
This case will now move through the court system. There is a motions hearing scheduled for July 6, and a potential jury trial would start on July 22.
Notably, the Broncos will open training camp in late July. Cooper’s attorney, Harvey Steinberg, is requesting a trial date as early as possible to avoid the linebacker having to miss training camp.
