Law enforcement authorities in Dallas have issued an arrest warrant for Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller in connection with a case of alleged domestic violence.
Miller is accused of assaulting a pregnant woman this week during an argument, according to the Dallas Police Department.
Police said they responded to a major disturbance call around 11 a.m. Central time Wednesday. A preliminary investigation determined Miller and the alleged victim had a verbal argument and Miller assaulted her, according to police.
Miller left the residence before officers arrived, according to police, and the alleged victim was not transported to a hospital but was treated for minor injuries. An arrest warrant was issued for Miller for the assault of a pregnant person, police said.
Miller was not immediately available to comment, and his representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Bills are on their bye week.
“This morning, we were made aware of an incident involving Von Miller,” the Bills said in a written statement Thursday. “We are in the process of gathering more information and will have no further comment at this point.”
The NFL said it will follow all legal developments in the case.
“We are aware of the matter and have been in contact with the club,” the NFL said in a written statement issued through a spokesman. “We have no further comment at this time.”
Miller could face potential discipline under the NFL’s personal conduct policy. The league generally waits until a case plays out legally before imposing any discipline. But league rules allow the NFL to put Miller on what would amount to paid administrative leave by placing him on the commissioner’s exempt list while the legal case plays out, if it chooses to do so.
Miller, 34, is a native of DeSoto, Tex., a Dallas suburb, and played collegiately at Texas A&M. He is an eight-time Pro Bowl selection in a highly decorated NFL career that began with the Denver Broncos in 2011. He won Super Bowl titles with the Broncos and the Los Angeles Rams. He is in his second season with the Bills.
