Police records: three more women made allegations against Packers' Josh Jacobs
Police records released Friday show three women contacted investigators with abuse allegations against Packers running back Josh Jacobs, whose lawyers dispute them, and Fox News reports the NFL will review them.
Three women contacted police with their own allegations against Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs while officers investigated his May arrest, according to police records released Friday night. The Guardian reports one woman alleged Jacobs threatened to kill her.
The Hobart/Lawrence Police Department released the records in response to a public records request. The Guardian says Green Bay TV station NBC 26 reported the release first. The records are part of the evidence in Jacobs's battery case.
Jacobs's lawyers call the allegations "uncorroborated" and "old," the Guardian reports.
Fox News reports the NFL will review the additional allegations. The reports do not say what the review involves or when it will finish.
The battery case stems from a May altercation with Jacobs's then-girlfriend, who said he threw her to the ground. Charges were filed in August. The Guardian reports Jacobs pleaded no contest to battery charges last month.
Jacobs was on the commissioner's exempt list and has played two games since coming off it, the Guardian reports. In his second game, on Thursday night, he briefly held his hands behind his back while celebrating a touchdown. Jacobs said the gesture referenced the gospel song "Break Every Chain," not his arrest, according to Fox News.
