Quinshon Judkins, rookie running back for the Cleveland Browns No. 36 overall selection in this year’s NFL Draft. This means he won’t face formal charges for a domestic violence misdemeanor case from South Florida last month. It is that decision by the Broward State Attorney’s Office. Additionally, prosecution has been ruled out for the behavior reported in the July 12 incident.
Judkins, the last remaining unsigned member of his draft class, allegedly pistol whipped two separate victims following a robbery. The crime that led to his arrest apparently took place five days beforehand. According to the arrest report, Judkins is accused of punching an unnamed woman in the chin and lip area. This crash was just moments after they left Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The report further states that he punched her in the left arm and thigh at some point during the fight.
Judkins became so emotional that after reading his family’s text messages, he had to take a break. This is the frustration that sparked a legal showdown. As always, the legal landscape continues to shift. While Judkins remains with the team, the NFL is reportedly monitoring the situation and continuing to closely watch developments in the case.
A spokesperson for the NFL stated, “The league is following developments in the matter which remains under review.” This represents a remarkable shift illustrating the organization’s focused commitment to player behavior and establishing meaningful standards of discipline.
Daniel Oyefusi, who now covers the Cleveland Browns for ESPN. He wrote about the particulars of Judkins’ plight and how it will affect his nascent professional career. The NFL has a history of investigating these situations with extreme diligence, notably in instances where domestic violence accusations have arisen.
