BROWN COUNTY, WI (KTNV) — Former Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs has been released from police custody and no formal charges have been filed against him following his arrest Tuesday in Wisconsin, according to his attorneys.
Jacobs was originally facing charges of strangulation and suffocation, battery, disorderly conduct, criminal damage to property and intimidation, according to Brown County jail records.
The details surrounding the allegations were not immediately available. According to ESPN, the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department responded to a domestic violence incident involving Jacobs on Saturday.
The current Green Bay Packers running back is being represented by Las Vegas-based attorneys David Chessnoff, Richard Schonfeld and Clarence Duchac, who provided Channel 13 with the following statement on Wednesday.
"We are extremely pleased that Josh has been released from custody and that no criminal charges have been filed against him. As we previously stated, we encourage everyone to keep an open mind while the matter is fully reviewed. We remain confident that, once all of the evidence is gathered and evaluated, it will confirm that no charges should be brought against Josh in the future."
Jacobs was a first-round pick of the Raiders in 2019, spending five seasons with the organization before signing as a free agent with the Packers in 2024.
