Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller voluntarily surrendered to authorities in response to an arrest warrant issued for domestic violence charges. Von Miller turned himself into the Glenn Heights, TX police on Thursday afternoon. Subsequently, he was processed at the DeSoto Tri-City Jail and later released on bond.
Details emerged from the Texas police investigation, revealing that the incident occurred at 11 a.m. CT on Wednesday when Miller engaged in a verbal altercation with a woman with whom he has been in a relationship for seven years. Disturbingly, the woman, who is one-and-a-half months pregnant, became the victim of assault during the altercation. The unfolding situation underscores the gravity of the allegations against the accomplished NFL player and amplifies the significance of the legal proceedings ahead.
During their heated argument, the woman forcefully slammed the door of their apartment’s office, provoking a strong reaction from Von Miller. In response, Miller instructed her to leave the office, and she complied by initiating the process of packing her belongings.
As she began packing, the situation escalated as the Buffalo Bills pass rusher allegedly shoved her, stepped on her feet, and attempted to record their dispute using his phone. Shockingly, the altercation took a more physical turn when Miller reportedly pressed on the woman’s neck after she fell into a chair. The violent episode continued with Miller slamming her laptop onto the floor, pulling her hair, and pressing her neck against the couch, as detailed in the affidavit.
In a disturbing turn of events, the woman, feeling threatened, conveyed her intention to contact the authorities. Following Miller’s departure, she followed through on her threat, leading to the issuance of an arrest warrant by Texas police on Thursday. Subsequently, the eight-time Pro Bowler, Von Miller, turned himself in several hours later in connection with the alleged incidents.
At the time of the incident, the Buffalo Bills were on their bye week. This followed their recent performance, a 37-34 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12.
