Josh Jacobs, the Green Bay Packers running back, has been charged with two misdemeanors stemming from his arrest in May 2026. The charges include misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property, both of which were filed by the Brown County District Attorney's Office. Jacobs was initially arrested on five charges, including felony strangulation, but only the two misdemeanors were pursued after investigation.
