The NFL community finally received some clarity surrounding Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr.’s domestic violence case.
Hall was arrested in mid-August for allegedly threatening a woman with a gun. According to the police report, he pressed the gun against her temple and said, “I will [expletive] end it all. I don’t care.”
Here’s the initial report from ESPN:
The woman told police she is engaged to Hall and shares an 11-month-old child with him. She said the altercation began when she and Hall were discussing the financial needs of her daughter from a different relationship.
The woman’s mother corroborated details of her account in a written statement, according to the report, including that on Monday night she witnessed Hall strike her daughter on the head with a baby bottle, choke her by the neck, push her head through a wall and break open a bedroom door to drag her out.
Hall, a second-round pick from Ohio State, was placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt list shortly after he was arrested. As a result, he hasn’t been able to step on the field for the Browns.
On Thursday, Hall pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of disorderly conduct. His attorney said he’s taking steps to “better” himself ever since this alleged incident occurred.
Hall ultimately received a 30-day suspended jail sentence was placed on probation for two years. He was also handed a $250 fine.
Now that Hall’s case has been resolved, the NFL could suspend him for violating their personal conduct policy.
Either way, it’s unlikely Hall will contribute much to the Browns during his rookie season.
