CLEVELAND — Troubled Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel is being investigated by police in Texas following a disturbance during which he may have assaulted his ex-girlfriend.
Manziel, who has had two tumultuous seasons in the NFL, was identified by Forth Worth police after they were called at about 2 a.m. Saturday to investigate a report of a possible assault at an apartment complex. The officers didn't find the person who called, but they spoke to an unidentified 23-year-old woman who said she was "involved in a disturbance with her ex-boyfriend" earlier that night in Dallas.
Sgt. Steve Enright later identified him as Manziel. There were no arrests, and it's not clear if Manziel was questioned. Police didn't say if the woman was hurt. An ambulance was called, but she was not taken to a hospital.
The woman was uncooperative with officers, who were unable to locate a crime scene, according to a police report. The woman raised concerns about her ex-boyfriend's well-being. Police tried calling Manziel's cell phone and searching for him before determining that he was safe.
Fort Worth police are working with Dallas police to determine if a crime occurred.
The Browns had no immediate comment Saturday.
Beyond the legal matter, Manziel could face discipline from the league. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email the league is "aware and looking into it."
This is the second time Manziel has been questioned by police following an argument with his girlfriend.
