ANDERSON TOWNSHIP, Ohio — The home of Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow was burglarized Monday night while he was playing in a game against the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas, reports say.
The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to WLWT Channel 5 that Burrow’s home in Anderson Township was broken into at about 9:14 p.m. However, the sheriff’s office provided no other details, WLWT reports.
WXIX Channel 19 reports that Olivia Ponton, a model and social media influencer, discovered the burglary after returning to Burrow’s home and finding a broken window and a room “ransacked.” Ponton reportedly called her mother, who then called 911 and reported the burglary.
“Someone is trying to break into the house right now,” Ponton’s mother, Diane Ponton, says in a 911 call, WXIX reports. “My daughter is there. This is Joe Burrow’s house. She is staying there; he is at the football game.”
“She said someone was in the house,” Diane Ponton said in the 911 call. WCPO Channel 9 reports sheriff’s officials say it’s unclear what might have been taken from Burrow’s home.
Olivia Ponton was described as an employee for Burrow in the sheriff’s report, according to People. She has nearly 3 million followers on Instagram and 7.6 million on TikTok.
Burrow threw for 369 yards and three touchdowns Monday night to lead the Bengals to a 27-20 victory over the Cowboys, improving Cincinnati’s record to 5-8. Despite the Bengals struggles, Burrow is having a stellar season, with 3,706 yards passing, 33 touchdowns and only six interceptions.
Break-ins recently were reported at the homes of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce, a Cleveland Heights native.
