Packers RB Josh Jacobs turned himself in to Hobart/Lawrence PD in Wisconsin today after a May 23rd disturbance complaint that police were dispatched to. Jacobs faces a felony assault charge of strangulation and suffocation, along with four misdemeanor charges, including a battery - domestic abuse charge. Jacobs' attornies released a statement vehemently denying the allegations and charges.
Adam Schefter of ESPN: "After a complaint on May 23 and a subsequent investigation, Packers RB Josh Jacobs was arrested this morning and booked into Brown County Jail on five charges: battery/domestic abuse, criminal damage to property/domestic abuse, disorderly conduct/domestic abuse, strangulation and suffocation, and intimidation of a victim."
Attornies for Josh Jacobs, David Chesnoff, Richard Schonfeld, and Clarence Duchac: "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 impact for this year's football and fantasy season remains to be seen for Jacobs. The judicial process may take months and not be completed until the season or even after. The charges could be dropped or lessened as well. All of this remains to be seen as the process takes place.
Ultimately, the charges could warrant a suspension if found to be credible, but we won't know if that is likely until the process plays out. At this point, you can proceed with some caution on Jacobs, but the full extent of impact is not known yet.
