Zac Stacy accused of domestic violence after graphic video surfaces

Former NFL running back Zac Stacy – who played for both the St. Louis Rams and New York Jets during a three-year career from 2013-15 – is accused of domestic violence after a graphic video surfaced.

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

Stacy, who played college football at Vanderbilt, is alleged to have repeatedly punched his ex-girlfriend in the head and tossed her into a television while visiting with their 5-month-old son at the woman’s Florida home Saturday. Their son was reportedly in the room with them when the alleged incident, which was caught on home video cameras, occurred.

In the video, the couple can be seen having a conversation before Stacy swings on the woman with his right arm and hits her in the face. After hitting her repeatedly, he then throws her into the TV, which nearly falls on top of her. Stacy continued to strike the woman and tossed her once more before leaving the house and slamming the door.

TMZ obtained a restraining order application with comments from the woman in the alleged attack involving Stacy.

“He punched me several times in the head! I begged him to stop because the baby was on the couch just a few feet from where he punched me,” the comments in the application read. “I fear for my life and my children’s lives.”

In the restraining order application, the woman said she was hospitalized after the alleged attack with bumps, bruises and a possible cut to the head.

Selected by the St. Louis Rams in the fifth round of the 2013 NFL Draft, Stacy played in 35 career games – tallying 357 carries for 1,355 yards and nine touchdowns. He also made 53 receptions for 358 yards and a touchdown.

The New York Jets released Stacy on July 27, 2016, and he later announced his retirement from the NFL on Feb. 16, 2017.
