PHOENIX (AP) – Arizona Cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer was released from jail early Thursday after his arrest on aggravated assault charges in connection with two altercations at his home in July involving a woman and an 18-month-old child, the latest in a string of such cases involving NFL players.
The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office says Dwyer posted bond and was released.
The Cardinals said they became aware of the situation on Wednesday and are cooperating with the investigation. Dwyer has been deactivated from all team activities. The NFL said the case will be reviewed under the league’s personal-conduct policy.
Dwyer, led to the jail in handcuffs on Wednesday, was charged with three counts, including ”aggravated assault causing a fracture” involving the unidentified 27-year-old victim.
The 25-year-old player denied committing any assault, police said.
