PHOENIX (AP) – Police say Arizona Cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer broke his wife’s nose during an argument that began after she learned about his recent phone contact with another woman.
Search-warrant records made public Tuesday say the July 21 argument came after Dwyer’s wife came to believe he was cheating on her.
Dwyer was arrested last week after his wife alleged Dwyer assaulted her on July 21 and 22.
The arrest came as the NFL is under fire over a series of violent off-the-field encounters involving some players, including Ray Rice.
The day after his arrest, Dwyer was placed on the reserve/non-football illness list, meaning he won’t play again this season.
Prosecutors filed aggravated assault and other charges against Dwyer.
His lawyer, Jared Allen, didn’t immediately return messages Tuesday afternoon.
