So Josh Jacobs facing domestic violence charges.
We found out last night he was arrested and booked in Wisconsin.
One of five, his five charges is felony strangulation and suffocation.
Jacobs, through his attorneys, denies the allegations.
He turned himself in, he was booked, and now we will await more information.
Right now, Caroline, we don't have a ton of information on any of this.
So far, the NFL has historically shown to be slow to, to react to this.
Until we get more information, but as it stands right now, five charges, including one felony, facing the Packers' superstar running back.
You know, if this is true, which I won't make an assumption, shame on Josh Jacobs.
Shame on him for doing something stupid that hurts his football team, and shame on him for putting someone's life at risk.
I'm so tired of this.
We have such a long history of NFL players beating up their wives and girlfriends and putting other people at risk.
I implore the NFL to, to approach this with a certain level of seriousness that I don't think that they have in the past.
So many times players who have history of domestic abuse or domestic violence just get a slap on the wrist, and we move on from it, and they continue to bask in the glory and make millions and millions of dollars when they have shown behind closed doors they can be a threat to so many people around them.
I'm so tired of these types of stories popping up in the National Football League.
and now we, we await more information of what Josh Jacobs' future looks like, not just out on the football field, but legally as well
