Rashod Bateman Arrested Over June Incident That Allegedly Involved Infant in Car

Georgia court records say the Ravens receiver faces criminal charges that have prompted an NFL review and could affect his roster status and league discipline.

Overview

  • Court filings say the June 3, 2026 incident in Walton County, Georgia involved Bateman allegedly smashing the windshield and driver-side window of the mother of his child while their three-month-old sat in a rear car seat.
  • Walton County booking and warrant records, reported by multiple outlets, list three charges against Bateman: battery-family violence (misdemeanor), reckless conduct, and first-degree criminal damage to property.
  • Police and warrant notes allege the shattered glass caused small facial cuts and contusions to the woman and that officers found glass in the infant’s hair and car seat; Bateman surrendered to authorities the day of the incident and was released on bond.
  • A court later replaced a full no-contact order with a restriction barring violent contact and allowed supervised or resumed contact only after Bateman completes a court-ordered class.
  • The Baltimore Ravens say they informed the NFL and have cooperated with authorities, the league has the matter under review, and the case — with potential roster, contractual, or disciplinary consequences — remains active and unresolved.
