Three more women have accused Packers running back Josh Jacobs of abuse, according to police records released Friday night. The Hobart/Lawrence Police Department made the file public after a records request, and NBC 26 reported it first. The women came forward after Jacobs' May arrest and described incidents from 2021 and 2022. None led to new charges. Jacobs already pleaded no contest on September 10 to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property, and the NFL has not finished its own review.

What The Josh Jacobs Police Records Say

The file is heavily redacted, yet it outlines each woman's account. One said she spent about 11 hours at his home in January 2022 after chatting with him for six months. She told officers he grew angry, slapped her and threw her phone into a pool. She also said he told her, "I should kill you right now." She contacted police because she saw a pattern that matched the May case.

A second woman described an April 2021 incident that left bruises on her arms and swelling near her ribs. Police found a record of the call from that night. Responding officers saw "no visible signs of injury, bruising or damage consistent with a physical altercation."

A third woman described a May 2022 altercation that left her with bruises and scratches. She said she stayed silent because she was not a U.S. citizen at the time and Jacobs told her she could be deported.

The records also add detail to the May 23 incident. That woman told police Jacobs pinned her to a bed and covered her mouth and nose. She believes she briefly lost consciousness.

Josh Jacobs NFL Discipline And What Comes Next

The court case is closed for now. Jacobs was convicted of battery and fined $1,000. The property damage charge sits under a deferred judgment and could be dismissed in September 2027.

The NFL runs its own process. It placed Jacobs on the commissioner's exempt list on August 30 and removed him October 19, so he missed the first six games. He has played in the last two. The league is still deciding whether he broke its player conduct policy. If it suspends him, those six games would count toward the penalty. An eight-game ban, for example, would cost him only two more.

These are allegations drawn from police files, and no court has tested them. Only the May incident produced charges. The league's decision will show how it weighs claims that never reached a courtroom.
