Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs spent the first six weeks of this season on the commissioner's exempt list after being arrested om domestic violence charges in May 2026. Jacobs was ultimately charged with two Class A misdemeanors: battery and damage to property. He pleaded no contest to both charges in September.
Last week, it was reported, based on Hobart-Lawrence Police Department records released to NBC26, that three more women came forward with abuse allegations against Jacobs during the investigation of the May 2026 incident. As our Zachary Pereles detailed last week: One woman contacted investigators in June, shortly after Jacobs' arrest, and told police the allegations sounded similar to her experience with Jacobs in January 2022. The woman alleged Jacobs slapped her across the face, threw her phone in the pool, grabbed her by her hair, threw her onto a bed, pinned her down, threw her on the floor and said "I should kill you right now," spit on her and grabbed her by the throat.
The woman said she believed her alleged experience could be relevant to the case and she wanted people to believe the woman involved in the May 2026 incident, per NBC 26. She also said she did not report the incident and remained friends with him. Another woman contacted the police later in June to describe an incident from April 2021.
The woman alleged Jacobs grabbed her by her arms, pushed her against a wall and threw her belongings outside. She said she suffered bruising to her arms and pain and swelling in her rib area, per the report. The woman said she called the police at the time; records indicate the responding officers observed no sign of injury, bruising or damage.
A third woman contacted the Hobart-Lawrence police in July and said that, in a May 2022 incident, Jacobs placed his hands on her head and neck, dragged her, scratched her chest and took her cell phone. She said she suffered bruising and scratches, and she did not report the incident or receive medical treatment because she wasn't a U.S. citizen at the time, and Jacobs told her she could be deported. Jacobs spoke to reporters on Wednesday about the latest allegations.
"It's just one of those things where, like, anything can be said and people are just gonna run with it and I can't really change how you feel," Jacobs said, via NBC26. "But at the end of the day, I know what I have on my part. So it's just one of those things where it's unfortunate.
