Overview
- Cooper was taken into custody Thursday night and was booked into the Douglas County jail early Friday, with court records showing two counts of domestic violence and one count of criminal mischief tied to $300–$1,000 in alleged property damage.
- An arrest affidavit describes an argument over alleged cheating and a struggle for phones in which officers say both phones were damaged and both Cooper and the woman were arrested.
- After an initial court appearance Cooper was released on personal recognizance and has follow-up hearings scheduled for Monday, June 8, as the case proceeds through Douglas County Court.
- The Broncos issued a brief statement saying they are gathering information and the NFL said it has been in contact with the club, actions that could precede disciplinary review under the league’s personal conduct policy.
- Cooper, 28, is a key pass rusher under a multi-year extension with Denver, and his arrest and public apology on social media could affect his on-field availability and the Broncos’ defensive planning if legal or league actions follow.
