Viral police report claims Quinshon Judkins punched woman in the face during car ride

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins has been arrested following serious allegations of domestic violence. According to a police report filed in Broward County, Florida, Judkins is accused of punching a woman in the face and striking her multiple times during a car ride on July 7. The incident was reported five days later, and Judkins was officially arrested on July 12. The Browns say they are aware of the situation, while the NFL is expected to review the case under its Personal Conduct Policy.According to the arrest affidavit, the accuser told police that while she and Judkins were leaving Fort Lauderdale Airport on July 7, he allegedly punched her in the chin/lip area with a closed fist. She also stated he later struck her on the left arm and thigh during the same car ride.She did not initially report the incident, telling officers on July 12 that she was concerned it might “impact Judkins’ NFL career.” Police noted visible bruising on her chin and photos from July 8 that supported the timeline of injuries.Judkins was arrested on July 12 and charged with misdemeanor domestic battery. He was booked into Broward County Jail and released shortly after on a $2,500 bond.The case is now in the early legal process, and no court dates have been announced publicly. As of now, Judkins has not commented on the allegations.The Cleveland Browns released a brief statement confirming they’re aware of Judkins’ arrest and are “currently gathering information.” The NFL has not issued a public statement yet, but given the league’s Personal Conduct Policy, Judkins could face disciplinary action, including placement on the Commissioner’s Exempt List during the investigation.Judkins was a highly anticipated rookie addition to the Browns’ backfield this offseason, expected to compete for snaps behind Nick Chubb and Jerome Ford. His arrest now puts that future in question.The NFL has a long track record of issuing suspensions or placing players on leave during or even before domestic violence cases are resolved in court regardless of conviction. It’s unclear how soon the league or the team will make a decision.Quinshon Judkins’ future with the Browns is now under serious scrutiny as both legal proceedings and a potential NFL investigation loom.
