Judkins had a court appearance scheduled for Sunday morning. Per his arrest record, he had been charged with a “touch or strike” of the victim.
The 36th overall pick in April’s NFL Draft, Judkins was one of two running backs selected in the draft by the Browns. He rushed for 3,785 yards and 45 touchdowns during his college career, which was split between Ole Miss and Ohio State. He won a national title with the Buckeyes last season.
Judkins faces punishment from the NFL under the league’s Personal Conduct Policy regardless of the legal outcome of the allegations. That investigation will likely be underway soon.
