Arapahoe County Sheriff issues update on former Alabama star Jerry Jeudy's arrest
Arapahoe County Sheriff, Tyler Brown, met with media members Thursday afternoon to discuss further details regarding the arrest of former Alabama star and current Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, making it clear that there was no “physical contact” made between Jeudy and the mother of his one-month-old child.
“This morning at approximately 10:15 [a.m.] deputies were dispatched to an address here in Arapahoe County,” Brown said. “A female party was asking for a ‘keep the peace’ situation between her and a male party. Upon deputies arriving on scene, they contacted a female party who identified herself [as the mother of his child] and explained that she had property that Mr. Jeudy was in control of.
“Deputies were able to confirm that Mr. Jeudy did have control of some property of the female reporting party and that she was unable to access it. After that, it was determined that Mr. Jeudy was being accused of committing second degree tampering in the state of Colorado.”
According to the police report, the accuser had said “things got crazy” between the two, and said that that Jeudy put her wallet and medical paperwork for their child in his car and would not let her get access to it.
“[Jeudy] hides her phone around the home due to jealousy issues from JERRY, and does not take it out around him … She does not have a phone on her currently, and had to go to the neighbors to use the phone,” Broncos beat writer Mike Klis excerpted from the report on social media.
“She is trying to go back to to Virginia. but is unable to due to her not having access to a car seat, her wallet, and medical paperwork for their child. She-does not want to get him in “trouble,” she wants her items back so she can leave. I then made contact with [Jeudy]. [Jeudy] told me: “He did take [woman’s] wallet, items for baby, and formula for baby and locked them in the car so she could not access them. He did this because she took one of his three phones and would not give it back.”
Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Jeudy’s charge of second-degree criminal tampering in the state of Colorado means tampering with another person’s property “with intent to cause injury, inconvenience, or annoyance.”
The domestic violence related enhancer is based on Jeudy’s relationship with the accuser. Brown added that no damage had been done to the accuser’s property, but Jeudy allegedly withheld property from the woman who officers claim was trying to leave the area and was promptly arrested.
Due to the fact this case involves domestic violence, Jeudy will be forced to remain in jail until he sees a judge, which will likely take place over the next 24 hours.
