The Hobart-Lawrence Police Department arrested Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs and booked him into Brown County Jail on Tuesday.
Police received a complaint on Jacobs this past Saturday at approximately 9:37 a.m. ET, which spurred an investigation. Consequently, he now faces five charges: battery/domestic abuse, criminal damage to property/domestic abuse, disorderly conduct/domestic abuse, strangulation and suffocation and intimidation of a victim. Four of these charges are misdemeanors, with the strangulation and suffocation charge being the lone felony.
“This remains an active and ongoing investigation. No further information will be released at this time,” Michael Renkas, chief of the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department, said in a statement (h/t ESPN).
