Three More Women Make Josh Jacobs Allegations to Police as NFL Says It Will Review Them

The Josh Jacobs allegations have widened after police records released on Friday night showed three other women contacted officers following the Green Bay Packers running back’s May arrest. They gave their own accounts of alleged incidents dating back to 2021. Jacobs’ lawyers describe the claims as “uncorroborated, old, and previously unreported.”

The Hobart/Lawrence Police Department released the material in response to a public records request, and Green Bay station NBC 26 reported it first. The NFL told OutKick that it “will review these allegations as part of the investigation which has remained open.”

What the Josh Jacobs allegations in the records describe

Jacobs was arrested on 26 May, three days after an incident in which a woman said he threw her to the ground. On 10 September he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor counts of battery and criminal damage to property. The new accounts are separate from that case, and the records do not show any charges arising from them.

One woman contacted police in June. She said she had experienced something similar with Jacobs, first putting it around 2023 and later giving the date as 5 January 2022. She told police she had spent about 11 hours at his home after communicating with him for around six months. She alleged that after she said she had not come for sex, he slapped her, threw her phone into a swimming pool, pulled her by the hair and pinned her down. She also alleged he said, “I should kill you right now.” She said she had not reported it earlier because she stayed friends with Jacobs and feared she would not be believed. She came forward, she said, because she saw a pattern resembling the May case.

A second woman described an April 2021 encounter. She alleged Jacobs later removed her from a residence, pushed her against a wall and threw her belongings out. She said she suffered bruising and rib swelling. Police said records they obtained from that incident noted officers saw “no visible signs of injury, bruising or damage consistent with a physical altercation.”

A third woman said Jacobs flew her to a residence in May 2022 after they met on social media. She alleged he grabbed her by the hair, put his hands on her head and neck, dragged her and scratched her chest. She said she did not go to police because she was not a US citizen at the time and Jacobs told her she could be deported.

Jacobs’ response and the NFL’s next step

Jacobs’ lawyers, David Z Chesnoff, Richard A Schonfeld and Clarence F Duchac III, said the Brown County District Attorney’s office had known of the claims “for months.” They said prosecutors and police carried out an “exhaustive investigation” and concluded only two misdemeanor charges were warranted. “Josh has repeatedly expressed his remorse and is honoring the terms of the agreement,” the statement said. The allegations in the records are unproven, and the sources report no charges from them.

The Packers had no immediate comment. The league placed Jacobs on the commissioner’s exempt list in August, and he missed the first six games. He has since returned, scoring two touchdowns in Thursday’s 27-19 win over the Carolina Panthers. It remains unclear how the Josh Jacobs allegations will affect the NFL’s inquiry, though the league could still impose further discipline.
