Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel has been indicted by a Dallas County District Attorney’s office on a misdemeanour assault with bodily injury charge, according to multiple reports.
Accused of hitting Colleen Crowley, his ex-girlfriend, multiple times, Manziel reportedly had evidence reviewed by the grand jury in his assault case on April 21.
Police records indicate that Manziel and Crowley were driving from a bar when Crowley attempted to jump out of the moving vehicle, leading Manziel to stop the car, drag her back in and then hit her.
The 23-year-old Manziel wasn’t first arrested for the incident, instead the police opted to present evidence to the grand jury to see if they should pursue a misdemeanour case or not.
Manziel was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 2014 and was eventually cut by them this past March after two seasons filled with off-the-field issues and spotty play on the field.
No NFL team has since picked up Manziel after Cleveland let him go.
