Records reveal further abuse allegations against Packers running back Josh Jacobs

New details released in Josh Jacobs case

New records released by police reveal that three additional women brought allegations of physical abuse against Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs. The evidence was released on Friday night following a public records request.

Jacobs pleaded no contest on Sept. 10 to misdemeanor counts of battery and criminal damage to property. He was arrested on May 26 after a May 23 altercation involving a former girlfriend. Newly released details show the woman told police that Jacobs pinned her on a bed, covered her mouth and nose so she could not breathe, and caused her to lose consciousness briefly.

Allegations from three additional women

The police records detail accounts from three other women who came forward after his May arrest. One woman reported an incident from Jan. 5, 2022, where Jacobs allegedly slapped her, threw her phone into a pool, pinned her on a bed, and told her that he should kill her right now. She also said Jacobs spit on her.

A second woman alleged an April 2021 altercation over a broken condom and medical testing, saying Jacobs grabbed her arms and pushed her into a wall. Police noted at the time that officers observed no visible signs of injury or physical altercation.

A third woman described a May 2022 incident where Jacobs grabbed her hair, dragged her, and scratched her chest. She stated she did not report it earlier because she was not a U.S. citizen at the time and feared deportation.

League status and potential discipline

Jacobs has played in two games with Green Bay since being removed from the commissioner exempt list. The league placed the three time Pro Bowl running back on the list in August after criminal charges were filed against him, causing him to miss the first six games of the season.

The league is still investigating the May incident that led to his arrest. Additional discipline could still be handed down to the running back.
