Police records show more women accuse Packers' Josh Jacobs of past abuse

Police records released by the Hobart/Lawrence Police Department show that multiple women contacted investigators after Josh Jacobs was arrested in May. The documents were made public following a records request and first reported by NBC 26.

Jacobs pleaded no contest on September 10 to misdemeanor counts of battery and criminal damage to property. He was arrested on May 26 after a woman said he threw her to the ground.

One woman told police she experienced a similar incident with Jacobs around 2023, later specifying January 5, 2022. She said she spent about 11 hours at his home before he became angry, slapped her, took her phone, threw it into a swimming pool, grabbed her by the hair, and threw her onto a bed and the floor.

The woman said Jacobs told her, "I should kill you right now," and also spit on her. She had not previously reported the incident because she remained friends with Jacobs and feared her claims would not be believed.

Another woman described an April 2021 encounter in which Jacobs allegedly grabbed her arms, pushed her against a wall, and threw her belongings out after a condom broke. The NFL suspended Jacobs for six games under its personal conduct policy, and he returned to the field in Week 7 before these records surfaced.
