Overview
- Police responded to a disturbance complaint on Saturday, May 23, and after an investigation Josh Jacobs turned himself in and was arrested on Tuesday, May 26.
- Jail records and police statements list five counts sought by investigators: battery (domestic abuse), criminal damage to property (domestic abuse), disorderly conduct (domestic abuse), intimidation of a victim, and strangulation and suffocation, with strangulation reported as a felony.
- The Brown County District Attorney reviewed the evidence and on May 27 requested further investigation, released Jacobs from custody, and has not filed formal charges.
- Jacobs’ attorneys have issued a categorical denial, saying he "vehemently denies the allegations" and asking for fairness while investigators gather evidence.
- The Packers and the NFL say they are aware of the matter and will not comment further as the probe continues, and the situation could lead to league discipline and affect Jacobs’ availability during offseason team activities.
