Josh Jacobs arrested, booked on five charges
Jacobs, through an attorney, vehemently denies the allegations.
By PackerAaron
The Green Bay Packers are dealing with troubling news Tuesday as running back Josh Jacobs was arrested in Brown County following an investigation into a disturbance complaint from May 23.
According to booking information, Jacobs faces five charges: battery/domestic abuse, criminal damage to property/domestic abuse, disorderly conduct/domestic abuse, strangulation and suffocation, and intimidation of a victim.
At this stage, the details surrounding the incident remain limited. The legal process will now play out, with more information likely to emerge in the coming days.
For the Packers, the timing is obviously significant. Jacobs is a central figure in Green Bay’s offense. Any potential absence, whether due to legal proceedings or possible league discipline under the NFL’s personal conduct policy, would create significant questions about the Packers’ backfield heading into the season.
Jacobs' attorney released a statement reading: “Josh vehemently denies the allegations, and this matter is in the early stages of investigation with important evidence that has not yet been made public. We ask for fairness and restraint while the judicial process takes its course.”
The Packers provided the following statement: “We are aware of the matter involving Josh Jacobs. As it is an ongoing legal situation, we will withhold further comment.”
As more verified details become available, CHTV will keep you updated.

This is not how you kick off a championship season.
Looks like the Packers are going to have to scramble to pick up a viable RB who can carry the load just in case Lloyd doesn't shake out, because I'd assume the league is going to suspend Jacobs for at least a few games even if the Packers don't cut bait.

The league won’t do anything for a while, even if this does have real substance. This is a charge sheet, not a prosecutor’s complaint. About a third of this type of arrest result in filed charges by prosecutors in Wisconsin. Of those actually prosecuted about 1/3 are cleared. Of those convicted, 80% result in a misdemeanor.
The league won’t act without a conviction, plea deal or some very hard evidence of alarming facts. Rightly so, because a lot of these domestic cases are “he said-she said” and others not as they seem at first sight.
If it’s serious harm, that likely comes out. However, that’s inconsistent with a basic battery charge. Basic battery can simply be touch in a heated situation. That may be purely in her say so at this point. His girlfriend is, I think, an influencer, so it could be more will come out from her (assuming it is her involved).

This is two felony charges, and 3 misdemeanors, buddy.
Perhaps you haven't paid attention to the NFL over the last decade. He's going to be suspended.
Packers historically would quietly stand by their player- likely deactivated- until their day in court, for misdemeanors, a bar fight, and such, maybe even a drunk driving. You're fooling yourself if you think felony domestic violence charges aren't a big deal. The NFL is all over this type of thing, and the Packers know their fan base doesn't have a taste for it.

The man has been arrested and is being held in jail three days after the alleged incident occurred and was investigated by police.. The police conducted an investigation before coming back to arrest Jacobs today.
Regardless if charges are pressed, he's going to be suspended. I've posted all the information you need to come to this conclusion as being extremely likely if not a foregone conclusion. This is how the NFL has handled these incidents for over a decade.
I can't make this any easier for you to understand.. short of the victim coming forward and saying "I made it all up", Jacobs will be suspended.

Since I know you are not stupid, you are just stubborn and refuse to backtrack from your statements. Whatever, my man. See you week 1, when Jacobs won't be playing anywhere in the NFL because he'll be suspended due to violation of the NFL's personal conduct policies.

You don't have facts, just a bunch of crazy ideas you made up.
Josh turned himself in, nobody "came back to arrest him." There's no way a violent scene was discovered and the perp was allowed to remain free until just casually turning himself in days later. He wasn't held for 3 days, either. Maybe not even 24 hours.
In fact he hasn't been charged.
Oppy
May 28, 2026 at 10:59 pm
No crazy ideas made up. The only thing I didn’t have right was that Jacobs surrendered himself 3 days later to be arrested, as opposed to the police going back 3 days later to arrest him. There was a warrant for his arrest in either case. So sue me.
Not making crazy shit up at all. It’s not my problem some of you get defensive and read a bunch of shit into my posts I didn’t say. I haven’t said he’s guilty, I haven’t said the packers should part ways from him. I’ve stated all facts (minus the detail that Jacobs apparently turned himself in, which wasn’t reported as such at the time I made the post, only that he had been arrested after the police had further investigated).
The bottom line is, it would be ridiculously irresponsible for the packers to move forward with the assumption Jacobs will be available for the start of the season. They need to address the RB room as if Jacobs won’t be available… because he might not be.
Good lord.. some of you need critical thinking and reading skills.

Be careful CW. I respect your opinions as you are one of the Top 5 posters on this site and are extremely knowledgeable, but it sounds like you are defending Jacobs right now. "Stangulation" is some serious $hit and if "she" has the marks and bruises on her neck then that goes a long way by itself. And it's a felony I believe.
This is a very serious stain on Jacobs reputation and all of his previous history will come out if there is anything similar to this out there. As for GB, they are in a lose/lose situation right now. They almost have to support their teammate and player, but Jacobs is also an employee of the Packers too and that carries responsibilities too. The Packers will end up getting sued somehow by somebody before this is done.
I wish this had never happened but GB needs to find another RB for insurance now. The football part of this never ends.

I am not willing to say Jacobs is guilty, and therefore, "not Packer people", but the Packers won't be able to rely on him to be available for the beginning of the season. They will need to, at the very least, make moves assuming that Jacobs won't be available and those moves must also cover the potential that they may have to cut ties with Jacobs as well.

Strangulation? Suffocation? If true, and found guilty he’s gotta go. Period. Just have to let the legal process play out. Very bad.
MitchAnthony
May 26, 2026 at 07:50 pm
Strangulation and suffocation are statutory terms.
What many people refer to as "choking" is not actually choking. Choking is when something blocks your airway (ie: the piece of steak you cut too big and didn't chew well enough). But people will often use the term in a situation where hands go to neck, or some sort of hold is used (what we call choke holds).
Strangulation as a term sounds very serious but minus the details we just don't know. Wisconsin law requires the person determined to be "primary aggressor" to be placed under a physical custody arrest. Again, minus the details we just don't know. It could be as bad as she says, or she could be one who spins a pretty dramatic and convincing story, or it could be somewhere in between.
Sounds like a stormy romance for sure.
PackfanNY
May 26, 2026 at 08:12 pm
According to reports the strangulation and suffocation charge is the most serious. It is a felony charge.
Coldworld
May 26, 2026 at 08:52 pm
Yet the battery charge is the lowest level. That suggests that if it occurred, any strangulation was minimal. No injury or even mark is required for a strangulation charge in WI. It is an automatic felony charge I believe.
golfpacker61
May 27, 2026 at 08:54 am
"Strangulation and suffocation are statutory terms."
They are also a precursor to attempted murder too.
"Strangulation as a term sounds very serious but minus the details we just don't know."
Yes, it does sound serious, and it puts the Green Bay Packers in a very precarious position depending on how they move forward. The team could also become a villain just by how they comment on this. It's lose/lose for the Packers either way.
MitchAnthony
May 27, 2026 at 01:27 pm
Strangulation and suffocation are indeed statutory terms and occupy the very same statutory provision in Wisconsin law. What I was trying to point out was the misnomer when folks apply the term "choking" to what the law actually recognizes as strangulation/suffocation. Strangulation refers to applying pressure to the throat or neck, while suffocation refers to blocking the nose or mouth. Even though they involve different parts of the body, the legal elements that a prosecutor must prove are identical: the defendant must have intended to stop the person from breathing or to stop their blood from flowing. It is about the elements of the offense, not the title of the offense.
Precursor to attempted murder! Holy cow dude, there's a jump. A big jump at that. Guess what, burglary can also be a precursor crime to a murder because it is a forcible non-consensual entry to a building or dwelling with intent to commit a felony or steal. Lots of other offenses can be precursors - and if they were found to be they would have been charged as such. So lets not paint a picture of an attempted murder if we don't have all the facts, okay? Hyperbole and assumption is not helpful.
Knowing the details is important. If someone is yelling and screaming in my face and I put my hand up to cover their nose and mouth to make them stop, I have met the elements of the above listed offense (suffocation). The same as if I put my hands around their neck and apply pressure (strangulation). I'm not trying to minimize what Jacobs is accused of doing or what the initial report/charges state. Not at all. I'm trying to say, take a breath and wait for some facts and details.
Packers in a precarious situation. You better believe it. I agree. The ways the wheels of the justice system and court calendars roll the actual adjudication of this incident might be as far as a year out. That could mean any league sanction might not even happen in this season. That really puts the Packers in an uncomfortable place of having to deal with a hot potato before any court process or legal resolution may even take place.

Pardon the use of an AI assisted query, but there's ALOT of historical evidence that the Packers must 100% assume that Jacobs will be suspended at the start of the season, at a bare minimum, REGARDLESS of if he's found guilty or not.::
The NFL has repeatedly suspended players for domestic violence allegations or arrests before—and often regardless of—a formal guilty verdict in a court of law. This is because the league operates under the NFL Personal Conduct Policy, which allows discipline based on its own investigations and evidence. High-profile examples include:
Ezekiel Elliott: The Dallas Cowboys running back never faced criminal charges, but he was suspended for six games in 2017 following a year-long league investigation into allegations of physical abuse.
Greg Hardy: After an arrest for assault and communicating threats against his ex-girlfriend—which were ultimately dismissed in court after a civil settlement was reached—the Carolina Panthers defensive end was suspended by the league for 10 games in 2015, which was later reduced to four upon arbitration.
Josh Brown: The New York Giants kicker was initially suspended for one game in 2016 for an arrest that ultimately had charges dropped. The NFL subsequently suspended him for another six games after further evidence of abuse was uncovered by police.
Kareem Hunt: The running back was suspended for eight games in 2019 for multiple physical altercations, including an incident caught on video where he pushed and kicked a woman. Hunt was never charged with a crime related to the incident.
This original result didn't even delve into the policy setter, Ray Rice:
The fallout from the Ray Rice situation fundamentally changed how the NFL handles domestic violence, directly leading to the current baseline six-game suspension for first-time offenders under the NFL Personal Conduct Policy.Here is how Rice’s case unfolded, followed by additional examples of players suspended by the league prior to—or entirely without—a criminal conviction:
The Catalyst: Ray Rice (2014)
The Incident:
The Baltimore Ravens running back was arrested following a physical altercation with his then-fiancée in an Atlantic City elevator.The Legal Outcome: Rice was indicted on a third-degree aggravated assault charge. However, he never went to trial and was never found guilty. He entered a pretrial intervention program for first-time offenders, which required counseling. Upon completion, the criminal charges were completely dismissed.
The NFL Action:
Commissioner Roger Goodell initially issued a widely criticized two-game suspension. Once explicit video footage of the knockout punch was leaked publicly, the NFL shifted him to an indefinite suspension. Though an arbitrator later overturned the indefinite status, the public backlash forced the NFL to overhaul its rules, allowing the league to hand down strict suspensions based entirely on internal reviews rather than court results.
Additional Historical Examples
Derrius Guice (2021): The running back was released by the Washington Commanders (then the Football Team) following an arrest on domestic violence charges. While his criminal charges were eventually dropped and dismissed in court following a settlement, the NFL still handed him a six-game suspension at the start of the 2021 season.
Jarran Reed (2019): The Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman was suspended for six games regarding a 2017 domestic dispute. Local authorities reviewed the case and officially declined to file any criminal charges against Reed. The NFL levied the suspension anyway, stating its independent investigation found a violation of league policy.
Jimmy Smith (2018): The Baltimore Ravens cornerback received a four-game suspension from the league following an investigation into allegations of emotional and physical abuse leveled by the mother of his children. Smith never faced criminal charges or a trial regarding the allegations.
Adrian Peterson (2014): While technically a child abuse case rather than intimate partner violence, the star running back's situation mirrored the domestic violence protocol. Peterson was indicted for reckless assault after disciplining his son with a switch. Before the legal case resolved, the NFL placed him on the Commissioner's Exempt List (paid leave). He ultimately pleaded no contest to a reduced misdemeanor charge of reckless assault—meaning he never admitted guilt or was convicted of a felony—but the NFL still suspended him without pay for the remainder of the season.

Good report Oppy
Coldworld
May 26, 2026 at 11:44 pm
Preemptive though. In all of those cases there was a settlement or some tangible third party evidence that the parties accepted, became public or was found by the league. In this case no charges have yet been issued. In WI that’s not something the police can do. The prosecutors must now decide whether there is sufficient evidence (or they believe that they will be able to compile that) to warrant formal charges for any or all of the offenses cited by the police. Even If they do commence, there’s no guarantee that investigations will corroborate that belief sufficiently to warrant a trial.
So until more comes out, I’m not willing to join the mob outside the jail house at this be point. Oppy may be proven right, but it’s too early to leap to the conclusions necessary to trigger that yet.
Oppy
May 27, 2026 at 12:39 am
There's more than three listed here where no formal charges were brought against the player, and the league still suspended them.
The core point I'm making here- there's a history of suspending players accused of domestic violence regardless if formal charges were brought, if charges were dropped, if a player was not found guilty, etc. and so forth.
I have never made any claims of Jacobs' guilt. I'm not suggesting he be tarred and feathered, or ousted from roster (although that may very well be the case.)
The only thing I've stated is that the Packers must be proactive in finding another back for the RB room who could reasonably be expected to help shoulder the load, because it would be extremely negligent to expect Jacobs is going to be available to play for the first many games of the season. They must protect themselves from being left high and dry.
The Packers must assume Jacobs will not be on the field to start the season.

Not all victims even file charges 75, nobody should make jokes about this situation. Unless you have ever been a victim in a situation even remotely close to this, then you have no idea what that person has been through. Lawyers for the person they are representing will stop at nothing to embarrass and make that person look like the worst thing in the world. And intimidation is a whole separate tactic that also can lead to charges being dropped.
This isn't the same world it was even 20 years ago. This is terrible that it even got to this point, but excluding Jacobs and the victim, it has put GB in a lose/lose situation no matter what they do.
I agree the team needs to be proactive and find another RB for insurance because the 2026 season will be here before we know it.

Exactly why it's irresponsible to jump to conclusions. This situation is different.
1265 will do what they find is best. Our speculation is irrelevant.
Human nature hates to not know something, and goes to all sorts of convoluted measures to fill that gap in knowledge with something, anything, even made up nonsense. The psychological term for this is closure. We need to rise above that noise.
The only facts we know are that no charges have been filed, Mr Jacobs was allowed to remain free for days until casually turning himself in which tells us he was deemed to not be a danger to anyone, and he was released after 1 day, maybe even less than 24 hours. Nothing about this is anything like a domestic violence situation.
And we don't know who else was involved, or even there.

Regardless of how this plays out legally or how the league handles this Jacobs is innocent until proven guilty. However the Packers are a non-profit organization and non-profits usually have zero tolerance for scandals especially if the scandal involves criminal activity. Unless Jacobs is completely exonerated I doubt that we will see him play for the Packers again.
As far as this incident goes it could be a he said, she said without the evidence to support it. That would be best case scenario for Jacobs and the Packers. It is also entirely possible the alleged victim is looking for a financial settlement from Jacobs.
Bottom line is this is just not good for the Packers and everyone would be better off if this never happened. Hopefully gute has already begun to search for another RB. Thanks, Since '61

Domestic violence has long been an issue in the NFL. While driving under the influence (DUI) is the most common criminal charge among NFL players - accounting for nearly 30% of all player arrests and citations. Violent crimes, with domestic violence/assault and battery are a close second. So while the arrestee (Josh Jacobs) is a shock - the charges are not.

What can they save if cut and is it worth it? If they can save some money and try to pick up someone they might want to explore their options.
If this was booked late at night I might think alcohol and heighten emotions got things blown out of proportion. 8:30am makes me think someone came home to something they didn't want to see or something the previous night had stirred up. Hopefully it is all a misunderstanding but IDK here.

The incident occurred and was responded to by police last Saturday, who continued to investigate through monday (?) before arresting Jacobs Tuesday morning.

Understood, the police where dispatched at 8:37am Saturday to a disturbance. That is when it all started. When he is arrested and charged doesn't change this. If anything that is worse for Jacobs as the police reviewed it and saw they needed to make an arrest understanding all the facts and who he is.

"What can they save if cut and is it worth it? If they can save some money and try to pick up someone they might want to explore their options."
Those are questions that have to be asked immediately by the Packers organization Bucky. Earlier when Jacobs was mentioned as a cut/trade candidate in articles, I believe $8 million was the figure GB would save by making such moves. Regardless, moving on will tie up some money, but there really is no way to keep him as a Packer. GB will look bad either way. The business side of this goes on regardless, GB needs to find a RB for sure now.

Every RB competition will be of great interest to the Packers this off season. Somebody is going to have a RB that can play a bit they will try to stash on the PS.

For context - this is not Josh Jacobs first arrest. In 2021 - while playing for the Raiders - he was charged with a DUI.

Not that I see the two as really linked in terms of necessarily predicting behavior, but that charge was dismissed because he was shown to be legally baseless because he was shown to have been below the legal limit.
It’s illustrative in one way. The accident circumstances were sufficient for probable cause to arrest, but the investigation proved that the facts could not substantiate the charge despite that. This one will almost certainly be more messy to prove or disprove, but the lesson is no less valid.

The link is that the 2 most prevalent criminal charges in the NFL are DUIs and Domestic Violence. Jacobs has now been arrested for both.
As to his 2021 DUI - Jacob accepted a lesser charge of a single misdemeanor count of failure to exercise due care/duty of driver to decrease speed - which required community service and a payment of a fine.

However this plays out.....
Whether the charges get dropped today, or if he's convicted, one thing is for sure.
This isn't any good, for anybody.

Disagree.
This news is plenty good for the Bears, Vikings, and Lions and their fans.
If Jacobs plays for GB in 2026 the Packer organization will be criticized for having an abuser at RB.
If Jacobs is cut and barring any significant additions at the position, GB will go into 2026 with perhaps the weakest RB room in the NFL.
Moreover, coupled with the signing of Brandon McManus after his incident with the stewardesses, fans of other teams get to rightfully mock GB fans who spout off about “Packer people”.
Sadly for us, I’d say it was a great day for opponents of the GB Packers.

"If Jacobs is cut and barring any significant additions at the position, GB will go into 2026 with perhaps the weakest RB room in the NFL."
Even though the most serious parts of this incident are Jacobs & the victim, GB has multiple serious things to deal with that include PR and the RB room. As far as the RB room goes, this unfortunate situation is a golden opportunity for GB to see what they have and for the backups to get a really serious look and starter reps.
GB was going to have to deal with the reality of losing Jacobs next year anyway because of money savings. I am sure this subject has been extensively discussed even before this happened. Now the timeline is rushed forward. GB probably moves up and makes a trade for one of the RBs that have been mentioned in articles. That would get immediate insurance. I like Trey Benson-Cardinals in this scenario. Probably a 6th or 7th round pick gets it done. He was the 3rd best RB in the 2024 draft and would be in next years draft too. A 6th for him is cheap.
The other options are wait and see what RBs become available, and/or if we have the RBs we need being already on the team.
I really think Pierre Strong and Martinez should get a serious chance to fill the position. Strong's limited chances have produced decent stats in the limited snaps he has been given in NE & GB. Martinez had great stats in college and is a powerful runner. Both should be better blockers after a year in GB. I am not even mentioning Lloyd and won't until he shows he can at the very least be "Available."
The damage is done to Jacobs reputation at the very least, GB should be decisive and move on. The Packers will get sued by someone over this.

WTF Best case scenario is to plead guilty to disorderly conduct and enroll in a substance abuse program.
I told you we should have drafted a RB, But , who would have known.

I have a feeling, if they reached a plea deal, of him pleading guilty to just disorderly conduct, i think Jacobs and his attorney would be saying....how soon can we get a court date?
Disorderly conduct is big nothing, in the grand scheme of this.

Something happened, period.
They sat on it for 3 days, and then....filed charges.
I'm sure their was a lot of 'input' during those 3 days

You're correct...The cops don't 'file' the charges, the D. A. does.
Damn sorry i used the word 'filed'
They 'presented' charges, to the D.A.
Please forgive me.

Often times an upscale home such as the one Josh Jacobs has are fully equipped with surveillance video coverage both inside and outside. If the incident is captured on home video cameras that should go a long way in understanding what had happened.
