Newly Released Police Records Detail Additional Allegations Against Josh Jacobs
Local reporting describes earlier incidents detailed in released files. Jacobs’ September pleas and ongoing NFL review address separate questions.
Newly released police records contain allegations from three other women against Packers running back Josh Jacobs, according to WBAY’s reporting on files made available to the station. The accounts describe earlier incidents raised during the investigation that followed his May 26 arrest.
The station said a redacted Hobart/Lawrence Police Department file includes allegations concerning incidents in 2021 and 2022. One woman contacted investigators in June about an alleged January 2022 incident. Another described an April 2021 confrontation; AP reported that officers noted no visible injuries or damage consistent with a physical altercation.
A third woman contacted investigators in July about an alleged May 2022 incident. WBAY reported that she did not initially report the incident but later provided photographs of her reported injuries. These are allegations recorded during an investigation, not new court findings.
They are separate from the May 23 incident underlying Jacobs’ September 10 pleas. FOX6’s account of that hearing says he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property. The battery conviction brought a $1,000 fine. The property count received deferred judgment, with conditions including counseling, restitution and avoiding contact with the victim.
Under that agreement, the property-damage charge can be dismissed after one year if he meets its terms. Those conditions also require him to avoid further criminal conduct and complete court-ordered battery intervention.
Jacobs returned from the commissioner’s exempt list in October after missing six games. In the Packers’ October 21 report, he apologized for the earlier incident’s effect on the team. The club said the league’s personal-conduct investigation remained ongoing and any punishment was still undetermined.
Those earlier remarks addressed his return and the September criminal proceeding. They were not a response to Friday’s newly released accounts. His playing eligibility and the NFL’s disciplinary process remain distinct from the court’s decisions.
