Details surrounding former Packers running back Ahman Green’s child abuse arrest are beginning to surface.
Cops responded to a 911 call from a neighbor on Monday morning and the subsequent complaint alleges that Green punched his 15-year old daughter in the face during an argument over chores. The two had been arguing because the teenager did not want to wash the dishes.
Green’s daughter alleges that her father “grabbed her, threw her to the ground and up against the kitchen cabinets … before punching her in the face.” Upon arriving at the scene, police noticed that her left eye was swollen and bruised with a couple of scratches.
While Green admits that the argument turned physical, he denies punching his daughter. Instead he claims that he “slapped her upside the head” and that her eye injuries were caused by her glasses. He also admits pushing her during the altercation.
Facing felony child abuse charges, Green contends that he was physically disciplining his child; not abusing her. He is also facing disorderly conduct charges.
