Browns' Judkins Arrested for Domestic Battery

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins was arrested in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on misdemeanor domestic battery charges following an alleged altercation with a romantic partner. Police reports and 911 audio indicate Judkins is accused of hitting the woman in the mouth and several times on her arm and thigh during a dispute that began over text messages from his family at the airport and continued in a rented SUV. The woman reported visible bruising and ongoing pain days after the incident, which she delayed reporting due to concerns about Judkins' NFL career. Judkins posted a $2,500 bond and is under a no-contact order with the alleged victim. Although he has not yet signed his rookie contract, the NFL may consider placing Judkins on paid leave under the Personal Conduct Policy once he is officially under contract. The Browns have acknowledged the arrest and stated they are gathering more information as Judkins' training camp status remains uncertain.
