Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins is facing a charge related to domestic violence after he was arrested on Saturday, and some troubling new details about the incident have surfaced.
Judkins was arrested in Florida on Saturday after the Fort Lauderdale Police Department responded to a report of a delayed battery. Officers determined that battery had occurred and took Judkins into custody. The 21-year-old was charged with touch or strike battery/domestic violence, according to Broward County Sheriff’s Office records.
On Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network obtained the full arrest report from the alleged incident. The report states that Judkins was accused of punching a woman in the face with a closed fist and later hitting her in the left arm and thigh on July 7. Judkins and the woman were in a car leaving Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport at the time.
The woman told police that she is currently in a relationship with Judkins.
