Police records of the Josh Jacobs misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property case indicate the Green Bay Packers' running back had other similar incidents with women.

Jacobs pleaded no contest Sept. 10 in Brown County Circuit Court to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property charges stemming from a May 23 incident in Hobart with a now ex-girlfriend.

The Hobart-Lawrence Police Department late Friday, Oct. 30, released redacted records of its investigation after multiple public records requests. It did not release security camera footage taken inside the garage during the incident, pending a decision by a Brown County judge. Both Jacobs and the victim want that video to remain sealed.

Jacobs' attorneys with the Hanaway Ross Law Firm, provided a statement in response to the records release: "The Brown County District Attorney’s office had these uncorroborated, old, and previously unreported allegations for months. They conducted their own exhaustive investigation, along with the police department, and the D.A. determined that only two misdemeanor charges were warranted. They then entered into a plea agreement with Josh Jacobs. Josh has repeatedly expressed his remorse and is honoring the terms of the agreement."

Jacobs and the victim began arguing on May 23 at his home in Hobart after she accused him of communicating with other women, according to records. According to her statements to police, Jacobs physically assaulted her in a bedroom and later in the garage. During the latter event, she said he threw her down and she struck her head on the concrete floor and believed she lost consciousness. She told police she experiences gaps in her memory regarding portions of the garage incident due to striking her head.

Jacobs damaged one of her cellphones and took a second one and refused to return it. The video footage from the garage shows Jacobs taking the victim's phone while she was on the garage floor and damaging the phone, the criminal complaint said, adding that the video doesn't show any part of the incident inside the residence.

Investigators said they talked to other women who reported similar instances of Jacobs losing his temper, taking their cellphones and not allowing them to leave his presence.

The Green BayPress-Gazette and USA Today Sports had requested records of the incident before filing a motion in Brown County Circuit Court on Oct. 23 for the release of the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department records as well as any other records and video obtained through a search warrant or subpoena. Hobart-Lawrence police released redacted incident reports as well as redacted body camera and squad camera video. Video from inside the residence has not been released.

Josh Jacobs court case timeline

• May 23, 2026: Hobart-Lawrence Police Department responds to a domestic disturbance complaint involving Jacobs in the morning.
• May 26: Police arrest Jacobs for his involvement in the domestic dispute with his now ex-girlfriend. Jacobs faced five counts after his initial arrest: battery (domestic abuse), criminal damage to property (domestic abuse), disorderly conduct (domestic abuse), strangulation and suffocation, and intimidation of a victim.
• Aug. 27: Brown County District Attorney David L. Lasee submits a formal complaint to charge Jacobs with two misdemeanors: battery and criminal damage to property.
• Aug. 30: NFL places Jacobs on the commissioner's exempt list, a form of paid administrative leave, while the league performed an investigation into the running back's actions. Players on the list are not allowed to practice or attend games, and time on the exempt list can count toward a suspension retroactively if the league hands down such a punishment after its investigation.
• Sept. 10: Jacobs pleads no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property during a court appearance on Thursday, Sept. 10. As part of an announced plea deal, the 28-year-old was found guilty on the charge of battery and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine plus costs. For the second charge – criminal damage to property – Jacobs reached a deferred judgment agreement. He will have to meet a list of conditions for the next 12 months in order to have that charge dismissed by the state: no further criminal acts, no contact with the victim, supervision, counseling and restitution payment to the victim. Also on Sept. 10, the presiding judge temporarily seals the evidence from the case, including a video of the incident between Jacobs and his ex-girlfriend.
• Sept. 15: Attorneys representing Jacobs' ex-girlfriend, who is not identified by name in court documents, file a motion to permanently seal the evidence and discovery materials.
• Sept. 17: The judge rejects the proposed order to seal the evidence, with online court records citing "improper format."
• Sept. 24: At a follow-up hearing, the Brown County Court Judge lifts the temporary order that sealed records in the case.
• Oct. 14: Jacobs and his ex-girlfriend each file injunctions against the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department in an attempt to stop police from releasing the video to the public. Jacobs wants a protective order to permanently seal all records in the case, while his ex-girlfriend wants to restrict only video and other information that could potentially identify her. Jacobs' ex-girlfriend's attorneys have argued that the sealing of evidence is within her rights under Marsy's Law – a recently added amendment to Wisconsin's state constitution that gives additional rights to victims of a crime – to protect privacy, dignity and safety.
• Oct. 16: The NFL announces it will remove Jacobs from the commissioner's exempt list on Oct. 19. "The NFL initiated an investigation under the Personal Conduct Policy following Jacobs' arrest in May," the league's statement says. "The league's review remains ongoing and is not affected by this change to Jacobs' roster status."
• Oct. 18: The Packers play their sixth game of the season, a 23-13 win over the Cowboys.
• Oct. 19: The league removes Jacobs from the commissioner's exempt list.
• Oct. 21: Jacobs speaks to members of the media for the first time. "I can't get into a lot of things, like specifics of things," Jacobs says. "But obviously, I'm remorseful and sorry for putting this team in this situation. Sometimes when you go through life, situations occur, and a four-second, three-second decision can alter your life, honestly. I'm still a human being. Still trying to learn. Still trying to grow from the whole process."
• Oct. 25: Jacobs makes his 2026 debut as the Packers face the Lions in Week 7. He finishes the game with 36 yards on 11 carries, plus 55 receiving yards and a caught touchdown on five receptions.
• Oct. 30: Police release additional records from their investigation, which show other women said they had similar interactions with Jacobs.

Will Josh Jacobs be suspended again?

The six weeks the veteran spent on the exempt list match the length of a standard suspension for a domestic violence case, according to the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and NFLPA. Jacobs' time on the exempt list can count toward a possible suspension retroactively if the league decides to impose one after its investigation concludes.

The league has said the running back is still under investigation for a violation of its personal conduct policy following his arrest, misdemeanor charges and plea deal, even after his return from the exempt list.

The NFL could impose a longer suspension if its investigation concludes it is necessary based on the new information shared in the police documents. Jacobs would have to forfeit salary he earned while on the exempt list and remain unpaid throughout any formal suspension.
