Another NFL player benched over abuse
Print Edition
WITH the National Football League reeling from a spate of violent off-field incidents involving players, the Arizona Cardinals benched running back Jonathan Dwyer on Wednesday after his arrest on suspicion of assault.
According to a Phoenix police news release, detectives from the department’s Family Investigations Bureau arrested Dwyer in the wake of two separate incidents allegedly involving a 27-year-old woman and 18-month-old child on consecutive days in July at a Phoenix residence.
Dwyer was booked into the Maricopa County Jail, police said.
The Cardinals responded swiftly. “Given the serious nature of the allegations we have taken the immediate step to deactivate Jonathan from all team activities,” the team said in a statement.
Dwyer’s arrest quickly made headlines as it follows high-profile legal cases involving Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and Greg Hardy.
Baltimore Ravens star running back Rice has been banned indefinitely from the league after punching his fiancee in February.
Carolina’s Hardy is appealing a conviction for assaulting a former girlfriend, and Peterson is charged with child abuse for administering a whipping to his young son, a charge that he denies.
