NFL Linebacker Von Miller Arrested for Assaulting Pregnant Girlfriend in Dallas

Dallas, TX - Star NFL linebacker Von Miller was arrested on Thursday, November 30th, in Dallas, Texas, on charges of assaulting his pregnant girlfriend. According to police reports, Miller was involved in a verbal altercation with his girlfriend that escalated to physical assault. He was charged with assault of a pregnant person, a third-degree felony.



The incident reportedly occurred on Wednesday, November 29th, at Miller's high-rise apartment in Dallas. Police were called to the scene, but Miller had already left by the time they arrived. They did, however, find the victim with minor injuries, including abrasions on her hand and bruising on her neck.

An arrest warrant was issued for Miller, and he turned himself in to authorities on Thursday afternoon. He was booked into the DeSoto Regional Jail and released after posting a $5,000 bond.

Details of the Incident

Police have released an arrest warrant affidavit that sheds light on the details of the alleged assault. According to the affidavit, Miller and his girlfriend were arguing in their bedroom because she did not want to travel on her birthday. The argument escalated, and the girlfriend went to the office of the apartment and slammed the door out of anger.

Miller reportedly became "visibly angry" and followed his girlfriend into the office. He yelled at her to "get out" of the apartment, and she attempted to comply. However, she wanted to gather some items before leaving.

The affidavit alleges that Miller then grabbed his girlfriend's neck and shoved her. He also applied pressure to her neck for several seconds, causing her to fear for her safety and the safety of her unborn child.

Miller's Girlfriend Downplays the Incident

While police reports and the arrest warrant affidavit paint a serious picture of the alleged assault, Miller's girlfriend has downplayed the incident. When reached by text by WFAA, she stated that "No one assaulted anyone."

This discrepancy between the police account and the victim's statement adds another layer of complexity to the case. It remains to be seen how this will impact the legal proceedings.

NFL Response

The Buffalo Bills, Miller's current team, have released a statement acknowledging the incident. They stated that they are aware of the situation and are gathering information. The NFL has also issued a statement, saying that they are monitoring the situation and will take appropriate action as necessary.

Next Steps

Von Miller is expected to appear in court at a later date. His legal team is likely to challenge the charges against him. The outcome of the case could have a significant impact on Miller's career, both on and off the field.

The earthquake likely occurred in the subduction zone where the Pacific Plate is slowly diving beneath the North American Plate. This ongoing process is responsible for much of the seismic activity in Alaska. The Alaska Volcano Observatory has reported no change in the volcanic activity of Iliamna Volcano following the earthquake.

Injury Updates From The Seahawks’ Week 13 Loss at Dallas

 ## Injury Updates From The Seahawks' Week 13 Loss at Dallas The Seattle Seahawks fell to the Dallas Cowboys in a thrilling 41-35 shootout on Thursday night. While the loss was disappointing, the game also saw key injuries to two key players: linebacker Jordyn Brooks and running back Zach Charbonnet. **Jordyn Brooks:** Brooks suffered an ankle injury in the first half and was replaced by Devin Bush. Coach Pete Carroll did not provide specifics on the injury, saying only that Brooks "got an ankle." While the severity of the injury is unknown, it could potentially sideline Brooks for some time. This would be a significant blow to the Seahawks defense, as Brooks is one of their leading tacklers and defensive signal callers. **Zach Charbonnet:** Charbonnet, who was starting in place of the injured Kenneth Walker III, left the game in the fourth quarter with a knee injury. Carroll offered some reassurance, stating that "it doesn't look like a knee injury, it looks lik...
