Von Miller accused of grabbing neck, pushing pregnant girlfriend in Dallas, police say
DeSoto native and Buffalo Bills pass rusher Von Miller turned himself in to Glenn Heights police Thursday afternoon after police said he is accused of assaulting his pregnant girlfriend.
The woman claimed Miller shoved and pushed her to the ground and briefly put pressure on her neck.
She gave police a video recorded during the incident.
Miller and the woman have been a couple for seven years and have children together.
"Been a crazy month. Obviously, there are things I can't talk about but everything that is out is completely wrong and blown out of proportion. Me and my girlfriend, we have problems just like any other couple does. But it's never been any of the things that were alleged against me. So hopefully over time all this stuff will get cleared up. And life is just, sometimes life just be living," he said.
Von Miller to practice and play while facing Dallas domestic violence charge, Bills GM says
Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane is disappointed in the allegations of domestic violence made against Von Miller, while stressing he and the team are waiting for the legal process to play out rather than rush to judgement.
Miller was arrested on a charge of third-degree felony assault of a pregnant woman.
He is free after posting a $5,000 bond.
The NFL said it is also investigating and will continue to allow Miller to play while the process plays out.
