Police Records Show Three Other Women Accused Packers RB Josh Jacobs of Abuse

Police records released Friday night show that three other women contacted investigators with their own allegations of abuse against Packers running back Josh Jacobs after his May arrest, ESPN reported. The Hobart/Lawrence Police Department released the evidence from Jacobs' battery case in response to a public records request.

One woman told police that during a January 2022 visit to his home, Jacobs slapped her, threw her phone into a pool, grabbed her by the hair, pinned her down and said "I should kill you right now." A second said that in April 2021 he grabbed her by the arms and pushed her against a wall; police said records from that incident showed "no visible signs of injury, bruising or damage consistent with a physical altercation." A third said that in May 2022 he grabbed her by the hair, dragged her and scratched her chest and neck, and that she didn't report it because she wasn't a U.S. citizen at the time and he told her she could be deported. None of the three had previously gone to police.

The records also added detail to the May 23 incident behind his arrest, including the woman's account that Jacobs pinned her on a bed with his hand over her mouth and nose and that she believed she briefly lost consciousness.

Jacobs pleaded no contest on Sept. 10 to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property. He spent the first six games on the commissioner's exempt list and has played two games since returning, including Thursday's win over Carolina. The NFL is still investigating and could hand down more discipline, and it's unclear how the new accounts will factor into that. There was no immediate comment from Jacobs or his attorneys, who said earlier this month he would not comment further because of ongoing legal matters.
