Arrested on charges of second-degree criminal tampering with a domestic violence enhancer, Jerry Jeudy spent a night in a Denver-area jail earlier this month. Ahead of Jeudy’s hearing Tuesday, the Arapahoe County District Attorney’s office dismissed the charges against the Broncos wide receiver, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets. A judge has since signed off on the motion to dismiss, closing the case, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com tweets.
Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown had called the charge a “very low misdemeanor” and said no physical contact was made during the May 12 incident involving the mother of Jeudy’s infant child. Jeudy was arrested on two domestic violence charges not involving physical contact, Mike Klis of 9News tweets. The woman involved had asked an Arapahoe County judge to dismiss the case, indicating she contacted authorities to “monitor the situation” and never felt threatened during the argument.
The woman accused the 23-year-old wideout of withholding medical records, her wallet and the baby’s car seat as she attempted to leave a residence, according to a police report. Each item was locked in a vehicle, per Brown. Jeudy accused the woman of taking one of his three phones. Jeudy went into police custody without incident.
Tuesday’s development bodes well for Jeudy not facing an NFL suspension in connection with this charge, though the league does not need a criminal charge to levy a suspension under its personal conduct policy.
Jeudy was a Broncos first-round pick in 2020. The Alabama product led the team in receiving yards as a rookie but missed a chunk of last season due to a high ankle sprain. Jeudy did not score a touchdown in 2021, but he is expected to be a key part of the team’s first Russell Wilson-led offense. The 6-foot-1 wideout becomes eligible for an extension in January. The Broncos already have wideouts Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick tied to long-term deals; Jeudy can be kept through the 2024 season on his rookie contract via the fifth-year option.
This sounded like a whole lot of nothing from the get-go, more like the authorities being over-cautious… and in domestic situations I’d rather they err in the side of caution anyways.
Another reminder to never stick your junk in crazy. Some situations are avoidable by not being around certain people. Did anyone ever teach Jeudy about the crazy hot matrix?
The matrix and avoiding baby mama drama should be topics in the rookie symposium. They should also probably talk more about using the Uber app given all the recent incidents.
Not to get too dark but women and even friends in general latch on to a cashcow. When things go sour they try to pull the cash on down. Relationships with players always leaves you cynical. Not talking about people they knew them before college type people. I’m talking about the one’s that circle the stadiums looking for a free lunch! These players are not all bad guys. They can make bad choices because opportunities fall over them like raindrops. Sounds crazy but its not easy being a money machine.
Never trust a man with two first names
What did Ricky Bobby ever do to you??
Good thing after she took his phone he still had 2 left.
The first time this story broke here, people leapt to label Jeudy as a problem. Now people are leaping to throw not only her, but whole categories of women under the bus. Real healthy, normal stuff.
