David Irving is under investigation from Frisco, Texas police, as Drew Davison of the Star Telegram tweets. Irving has been accused of domestic violence from a woman claiming to be his girlfriend. Cops are looking into allegations of assault for bodily injury of a family member; assault against a family member while impeding breath/circulation, and unlawful restraint. The charge of impeding one’s breath/circulation (which, effectively, means choking someone) is a felony. 
On Monday afternoon, his girlfriend retracted her allegations, per Davison (Twitter link). The Frisco Police Department plans to continue with its investigation. “We’re still going to do our due diligence,” officer Radd Rotello told Davison.
This is not Irving’s first instance of off-the-field trouble, but it is the first of its kind during his NFL career. Last year, he began the season with a four-game ban for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drugs policy. He rebounded well from that suspension, however, as he racked up seven sacks in eight games. This offseason, he signed his one-year, $2.9MM restricted tender to remain in Dallas.
If the allegations have merit, Irving could be looking at another suspension to begin the 2018 season, not to mention a host of legal trouble.
2.9 million down drain. Cowboys fan back to staubach days. Organization is an embarrassment team full of criminals . Where have you gone Tom Landry ?
The Cowboys have always sheltered their share of criminals, even under Tom Landry.
Continues the long line of Cowboy thugs.
I thought the photo was Aldon Smith. Hahaha
It was the one armed man
He signed 6 days ago, could not get in front of this? I swear it’s really getting hard to even be a casual fan of this team. If bleeping up were a crime, Jerry and the boys would be doing Life.
That’s why they are NOT America’s team
Totally agree. So sick and tired of the absolute lack of accountability and how Jones goes to great lengths to defend these idiots. It’s past embarrassing. Greg Hardy was the icing on the cake for me. Lost all respect for the organization when they signed him.
Every offseason something like this happens. The number of suspensions to start off the year last season was sad. Someone needs to bring down a hammer on these guys. It’s like he movie Groundhog Day, same thing over and over and over.
Ugh. I know there can always be extenuating circumstances but how hard is it to collect a ton of money, play a game and enjoy life?!
After all that she goes on IG and say it’s all a lie lol quit judging
