Browns defensive lineman Mike Hall Jr. was arrested in Ohio on Monday after he was accused of pressing a gun against a woman’s head and threatening to kill her.
During an argument, Hall allegedly pressed a gun up against the side of the woman’s head, and said, “I will f–king end it all. I don’t care,” according to a police report cited by ESPN.
The accuser told police that she is Hall’s fiancée, that the two share an 11-month-old baby together and that the argument arose from discussing the finances of her daughter from a previous relationship.
Hall, 21, was charged with domestic violence, and pleaded not guilty.
He faced a $10,000 bond and there is a hearing set for Sept. 10.
The woman told police that Hall ordered her to leave the house but then grabbed her by her feet and pulled her back to the house down the driveway.
The woman’s mother provided a written statement to police that alleged Hall struck the accuser with a baby bottle and choked her.
Hall left the home before police arrived but was arrested in Avon, Ohio on Monday night.
Police said that they observed two guns on a mattress and also saw “several indicators of a physical altercation”, according to ESPN.
The Browns issued a statement about the arrest on Tuesday.
“We are aware of the incident involving Mike Hall, Jr. last night,” the statement said. “Mike and his representatives have been in touch with the appropriate authorities. We are in the process of gathering more information and will have no further comment at the time.”
Hall starred at Ohio State and the Browns selected him in the second round of this year’s NFL Draft.
