WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Dallas Cowboys running back Joseph Randle’s ex-girlfriend has filed a request for a protective order, saying he threatened to “blast the vehicle” with their son inside after pointing a gun at her friend.
Dalia Jacobs wrote in a request filed Wednesday in district court in Wichita, Kansas, that Randle smashed the windshield of the car with his fist, “causing glass to shatter across my friend and my child.”
The incident occurred the same night the 23-year-old Randle was arrested on a marijuana possession charge at a Wichita hotel after a woman called 911. He was not taken into custody, and no charges related to domestic violence have been filed.
Police dropped the marijuana charge Friday, but spokesman Lt. James Espinoza says other charges are possible.
