Von Miller turned himself in to police in Glenn Heights, Texas and was booked into the DeSoto Tri-City Jail on Thursday, according to a report from ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg.
The Dallas Police Department had issued a warrant for Miller’s arrest on a charge of assaulting a pregnant person. After being booked on Thursday, Miller posted bond and was released.
Miller has been accused by his longtime girlfriend of assault. From ESPN:
Per the affidavit, Miller stepped on her feet as he pushed her, which caused her to fall into a chair, and then using one hand, he applied pressure to her neck for three to five seconds, which caused pain, but not difficulty breathing, per the affidavit.
As she continued to try and gather her belongings, Miller grabbed her phone and threw her laptop on the floor and stomped on it. When she tried to retrieve it, he pulled her hair and caused her to fall to the ground and a chunk of her hair to come out. When she got up to leave and get her belongings, she started recording on a phone in her pocket, per the affidavit, and was grabbed again by Miller and pushed onto the couch and placed pressure on her neck with both hands, causing pain.
Miller, 34, plays for the Buffalo Bills, who have a bye this week. He previously played for the Los Angeles Rams and Denver Broncos.
