Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins has been arrested following serious allegations of domestic violence. According to a police report filed in Broward County, Florida, Judkins is accused of punching a woman in the face and striking her multiple times during a car ride on July 7.
The incident was reported five days later, and Judkins was officially arrested on July 12. The Browns say they are aware of the situation, while the NFL is expected to review the case under its Personal Conduct Policy.

She did not initially report the incident, telling officers on July 12 that she was concerned it might “impact Judkins’ NFL career.” Police noted visible bruising on her chin and photos from July 8 that supported the timeline of injuries.
