Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs faces two misdemeanor charges after an arrest in May. Surveillance video from his garage is cited in reports as documenting the incident. Two sources confirm the charges and arrest date while additional details remain unverified.
Charging underscores intimate-partner violence in professional sports and the value of surveillance footage in supporting victim accounts.
