Star NFL running back Josh Jacobs arrested on domestic violence charges in Wisconsin


Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was arrested Tuesday in Wisconsin on domestic violence charges, officials said.

The incident unfolded just after 8:30 a.m. Saturday, when officers were called to a “disturbance complaint” involving Jacobs, according to a news release from the Hobart/Lawrence Police Department obtained by the NFL Network.

On Tuesday, police said Jacobs was arrested and booked into the Brown County Jail on charges of battery — domestic abuse, criminal damage to property — domestic abuse, disorderly conduct — domestic abuse, strangulation, and suffocation and intimidation of a victim.

Hobart and Lawrence are adjacent towns located in the Green Bay metropolitan area. Police said the investigation was ongoing.

In a statement provided to CBS News, attorneys for Jacobs said that he “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 Packers told CBS News in a separate statement, “We are aware of the matter involving Josh Jacobs. As it is an ongoing legal situation, we will withhold further comment.”

An NFL spokesperson also told CBS News in a statement that it was “aware of the report” and had been “in contact” with the team.

The 28-year-old just completed his seventh NFL season. A first-round draft pick out of Alabama by the Oakland Raiders in 2019 just ahead of their move to Las Vegas, he spent his first five years with the Raiders before signing as a free agent with the Packers in the 2024 offseason.

One of the NFL’s premier running backs, Jacobs was a first team All-Pro in 2022, when he led the league in rushing, and has been a three-time Pro Bowl selection.
