Cleveland Browns rookie defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. was arrested and charged with domestic violence following an altercation with his girlfriend. The incident took place on Monday night, leading to Hall's booking and arraignment at Avon Lake Municipal Court.
The Browns, acknowledging the situation, stated that Hall and his representatives are cooperating with the authorities. The team is currently gathering more information and refrained from further comment at this time.
According to the detailed incident report, officers responded to a call from a woman who alleged that Hall had pushed her daughter and struck her with a baby bottle. The woman further claimed that Hall had thrown her belongings outside, dragged her along a porch and driveway, and even threatened her with a gun.
Police discovered evidence of the altercation, including a damaged door frame and a hole in a door that the woman said Hall had punched. Additionally, two handguns were seized from the scene.
As of now, it remains unclear whether Hall has legal representation in this case. The Browns did not hold practice on Tuesday, with players focusing on treatment and workouts at the team's training facility in Berea, Ohio.
The Browns are scheduled to engage in joint practices with the Minnesota Vikings before an upcoming exhibition game. The situation involving Mike Hall Jr. is ongoing, and further updates may follow as the investigation progresses.
