Josh Jacobs, the running back for the Green Bay Packers, was arrested in May following allegations that he forcibly threw a woman to the ground. Since then, several other women have come forward with similar claims against him. These new allegations are documented in records obtained by NBC 26 from the Hobart/Lawrence Police Department.
According to the NFL, these claims are part of an ongoing investigation. A woman reported to police in June 2026 an incident involving Jacobs from January 2022. She said her experience was similar to the allegations from the May incident. She contacted police to support the credibility of the initial allegations.
She stated that after knowing Jacobs for six months and spending about 11 hours at his home, an altercation occurred. The woman alleged that she did not intend to engage in sexual activities, which angered Jacobs. She claimed he then slapped her, threw her phone into a pool, and physically assaulted her, including slapping her and throwing her to the floor. Fear of disbelief kept her from initially reporting the incident.
In another claim, a woman alleged that in April 2021, Jacobs physically forced her out of his residence after a broken condom incident. She reported bruises and swelling, but police found no visible injuries at that time. Furthermore, a third woman alleged she faced physical harm during an encounter in May 2022, choosing not to report due to fear of deportation.
Jacobs’ lawyers issued a statement highlighting that the district attorney and police knew of these old allegations for months, resulting in two misdemeanor charges after a thorough investigation. A plea agreement was reached, and Jacobs expressed remorse while complying with its terms.
The records released also provide additional details of the May 23 incident leading to Jacobs’ arrest. The criminal complaint notes Jacobs allegedly assaulted a woman as she attempted to leave, confiscating her phone and causing her potential unconsciousness.
Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and property damage. Although removed from the commissioner’s exempt list, he remains under NFL investigation. Since his return, Jacobs has participated in two games, rushing 32 times for 75 yards and contributing as a receiver with 11 catches.
Jacobs has drawn attention with a controversial touchdown celebration, clarifying it was inspired by a gospel song, not his legal issues. The Associated Press contributed to this report. Ryan Canfield serves as a digital production assistant for Fox News Digital.
