Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins was arrested this past Saturday afternoon in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and charged with battery and domestic violence. The woman who accused Judkins of punching her in the mouth while they were in a car together on July 8 told police four days later that she was still in pain and still had “visible bruises,” per the 911 audio from the Broward Sheriff’s Office obtained by TMZ Sports.

The woman said she did not report the incident immediately when it happened “because I thought we could work through it and obviously, we couldn’t, so I’m trying to do the right thing now.” According to the police report, the woman’s flight arrived at Fort Lauderdale International Airport July 7, and she said Judkins was “showing frustration” after he read text messages from family members.

She then said she tried to explain the messages weren’t true and began to stutter, and Judkins allegedly hit her several more times in other areas of her body, including her left arm and thigh, per the report. The woman also kept traveling with him and didn’t call 911 right away because she “felt bad due to the recent success and career” of Judkins as he got ready for his NFL career. After speaking with family and friends, she opted to tell police.

Judkins was released from jail Sunday after posting a $2,500 bond. The Browns said they were aware of the situation while working to “gather more information.”

“On July 12th, at approximately 9 a.m., Fort Lauderdale Police Officers responded to the 1500 block of West Cypress Creek Road in reference to a delayed battery,” the Fort Lauderdale Police Department Media Relations statement read, via ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi. “Officers arrived on scene and spoke with the victim.

“During their preliminary investigation it was determined a battery had occurred. The officers made contact with the suspect and placed him into custody. He was transported to Broward County Main Jail. The suspect has been identified as Quinshon Judkins, DOB 10/29/2003 and has been charged with Misdemeanor Battery (Domestic) FSS 784.03-1a1.”

The Browns selected Judkins with the No. 36 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft following a National Title-winning season at Ohio State. He was pivotal in the Buckeyes winning their first National Title since 2014, forming a dynamic one-two punch in the backfield with TreVeyon Henderson. Judkins totaled 1,060 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns after transferring from Ole Miss.
