The Associated Press is reporting that the domestic violence incident that led to Cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer being arrested in July and deactivated this month, was spurred by accusations of infidelity by the running back.
Police say the Cardinals running back broke his wife’s nose with a head-butt during an argument after she learned about his recent phone contact with another woman.
Search-warrant records made public Tuesday say the July 21 argument came after Dwyer’s wife came to believe her husband was cheating. Dwyer was arrested last week after his wife told police her husband assaulted her on July 21 and 22 at their Phoenix apartment.
Dwyer is charged with aggravated assault, misdemeanor assault, disorderly conduct, criminal damage and preventing the use of a telephone during an emergency. Messages left for his lawyer, Jared Allen, weren’t immediately returned Tuesday.
