>>Cardinals Running Back Dwyer Arrested

(Tempe, AZ) -- Arizona Cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer is the latest NFL player to be hit with accusations of domestic violence. Dwyer was taken into custody Wednesday at the team's training facility in Tempe, Arizona. Phoenix Police Sergeant Trent Crump says Dwyer faces several charges. Phoenix PD says the 25-year-old Cards player has admitted to the incidents, but denied any physical assaults. The charges stem from two separate incidents that allegedly happened in late-July. The 27-year-old female victim, who suffered a fracture, alleges Dwyer threatened to harm himself if she contacted the authorities. The Cardinals say they are aware of the situation and given the serious nature of the allegations they have deactivated Dwyer from all team activities.
