Former Vanderbilt running back hit with additional charges for alleged prior domestic abuse

Back in November, former Vanderbilt Commodores and NFL running back Zac Stacy was charged with felony battery charges for an incident involving him and his ex-girlfriend.

According to a report, five more charges have been added for the running back, bringing the total up to six. Early Wednesday morning, TMZ reported three misdemeanor domestic violence battery charges, and two misdemeanor criminal mischief charges were added to Stacy’s name for the incident.

“Officials did not specifically spell out the allegations against Stacy in the docs,” TMZ said in their report. “But Evans previously claimed in a restraining order application in Florida that the former football player had flown into a violent rage over rent money back in August.”

“He physically assaulted me several times because he wanted the money back he gave me for our rent,” Evans said.

“He punched my legs, slapped me, picked me up by my arms, and threw me into my window, which broke. I had glass in my feet that I removed myself.”

Be advised, the linked video of the incident is graphic and might not be suitable for all viewers.

Stacy was accused of domestic violence back in November after a video of the incident came to the surface.

Stacy has been out of the NFL for just over five years now, last playing with the New York Jets during the 2015 season. He was selected by the St. Louis Rams in the 2013 NFL Draft in the fifth round and ended up playing in 35 career games.

Statistically, Stacy was able to run for 1,355 yards and nine touchdowns on 357 carries. Coming out of the backfield, the running back also hauled in 53 receptions for 358 yards and a touchdown. His professional career ended after the AAF folded in 2019.

During his time in Nashville with the Commodores, Stacy ran for 3,143 yards and 30 touchdowns throughout a four-year span.
