Josh Jacobs Faces Misdemeanor Charges | Amarillo News

Josh Jacobs, Green Bay Packers running back, faces two misdemeanor charges—battery and criminal damage to property—after a May 23 incident at his home that began with a phone dispute. His girlfriend allegedly saw messages with other women, threw his phone, and during a struggle to retrieve her own device, fell and hit her head. Surveillance reportedly backs her version. Originally charged with five counts including a felony, prosecutors narrowed it to these two misdemeanors after reviewing new evidence. Jacobs remains presumed innocent; his legal team is preparing for court and confirmed domestic violence charges weren’t filed. The NFL and Packers are monitoring the case, while Jacobs continues team activities despite a groin injury. With depth concerns in the backfield, any suspension could strain the Packers’ offense.
