Josh Jacobs is facing renewed scrutiny after newly released police records revealed that three additional women contacted the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department about alleged physical incidents involving the Green Bay Packers running back.
The allegations appear in a heavily redacted case file released to NBC 26. The records also include new details about the May 2026 incident that led to Jacobsā arrest, along with body-camera and dash-camera video from the arrest.
Josh Jacobs records reveal troubling new allegations
According to the police file, one woman contacted investigators in June 2026 after learning about the investigation into a more recent incident involving Jacobs. She told police that her experience sounded similar to the allegations connected to the May case.
The woman alleged that Jacobs slapped her, took her cellphone while she attempted to leave his residence, grabbed her by the hair, and pinned her down. She also told investigators that he allegedly threw her onto the floor, spit on her and grabbed her by the throat.
She said she first met Jacobs through Instagram and communicated with him for about six months before meeting him in person. The woman told police she remained friends with Jacobs for a period after the alleged incident and initially did not want to report it.
Three women described separate incidents
A second woman contacted police later in June and described an alleged incident from April 2021. She said Jacobs grabbed her arms and bicep area, pushed her against a wall near a window and threw her belongings outside the home.
That woman reported bruising on her arms, along with pain and swelling near her ribs. She told investigators that she contacted police at the time, but said she was later informed the matter was not being investigated as a domestic incident because she and Jacobs were not in a relationship.
The released records state that detectives obtained information from the earlier call. Responding officers reportedly documented no visible injuries, bruising or property damage consistent with a physical altercation.
A third woman spoke with Hobart-Lawrence police in July. She alleged that, during a May 2022 incident, Jacobs placed his hands on her head and neck, dragged her, scratched her chest and took her cellphone after it fell to the floor.
She told police that bruising on her arm and scratches on her chest remained visible for approximately a month. The woman said she did not report the incident or seek medical care because Jacobs allegedly told her she could be deported.
What happened in the May 2026 case?
The additional accounts surfaced during the investigation into a May 23 incident at Jacobsā home in Hobart. In that case, the alleged victim told investigators that Jacobs restrained her multiple times, obstructed her breathing and prevented her from leaving or calling police.
During an interview, the woman said she believed she was going to die. Officers documented redness and what appeared to be scratches on her head and scalp, according to the released records.
Jacobs was arrested on May 26 and taken to the Brown County Jail without incident. He later pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property. He was convicted of those offenses and avoided jail time.
Important legal context surrounding the claims
The newly released accounts are allegations, and the records do not indicate that Jacobs has been charged or convicted in connection with the incidents described by the three additional women. The police file is also heavily redacted, limiting the publicly available details about the investigation.
- The records describe reports from three additional women.
- The alleged incidents were reported as occurring between 2021 and 2022.
- The May 2026 incident led to Jacobsā arrest.
- Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property.
- The additional allegations remain separate from the convictions in the May case.
The disclosures add another layer to a case that has drawn attention in Green Bay and across the NFL. The Packers running backās legal situation may continue to prompt questions about accountability, workplace conduct and how teams respond when serious allegations involve prominent players.
