A representative of the Dallas Police Department confirmed to WFAA that they have issued an arrest warrant.
The Bills are off this week. In a statement to the media, Bills officials said:
“This morning, we were made aware of an incident involving Von Miller. We are in the process of gathering more information and will have no further comment at this point.”
The NFL also issued a statement in regards to Miller. It said: “We are aware of the matter and have been in contact with the club. We will follow all legal developments. We have no further comment at this time.”
Von Miller faces possible third-degree felony charge
The alleged altercation happened Wednesday morning at Miller’s home in Dallas. The DPD said that officers went to Miller’s home after they received a call in regards to a “major disturbance.” The woman said she and Miller got into an argument and that he assaulted her.
WFAA reported that Miller left the home before officers arrived. Police said the girlfriend was treated for minor injuries at the scene.
Laws in the state of Texas consider a third-degree felony.
Two years ago, police in Parker, Colorado investigated Von Miller after his ex-girlfriend posted messages allegedly sent by the linebacker on social media. In one, Miller said he wished his girlfriend would have a miscarriage. Police never brought charges and the ex-girlfriend clarified that there had been no physical violence between the two of them.
