Star Metro - NFL to review new allegations against Packers' Jacobs: reports

Jacobs was arrested in May after an incident in which he was accused of throwing his former girlfriend to the ground. He pleaded no contest in September to misdemeanor battery and criminal property damage charges.

In August, the NFL placed Jacobs on the commissioner's exempt list and he missed Green Bay's first six games of the season before being reinstated on October 19.

Jacobs has 75 yards and a touchdown on 32 carries plus 11 catches for 68 yards and two touchdowns for the Packers since being reinstated.

The latest accounts by women of physical incidents by Jacobs were revealed on Friday by the Hobart/Lawrence Police Department after a public records request, Green Bay's WGBA TV reported.

"We will review these allegations as part of the investigation which has remained open," the NFL said in a statement to WGBA, ESPN and The Athletic.

Attorneys for Jacobs also relased a statement, saying, "The Brown County District Attorney's office had these uncorroborated, old, and previously unreported allegations for months.

"They conducted their own exhaustive investigation, along with the police department, and the D.A. determined that only two misdemeanor charges were warranted. They then entered into a plea agreement with Josh Jacobs.

"Josh has repeatedly expressed his remorse and is honoring the terms of the agreement."

WGBA detailed claims from the police reports it received.

One woman came forward with a previously unreported incident from January 2022 after hearing about the charges against Jacobs last May, saying she was slapped in the face, grabbed by the throat and held down onto a bed.

Another woman claimed that she suffered arm bruises and pain in her ribs after being grabbed and pushed by Jacobs in April 2021.

A third woman told police that in May of 2022, Jacobs dragged her by the head and neck and scratched her chest with marks that remained for months.
