NFL star  Kadarius Toney was arrested on February 6 after he allegedly strangled a woman in Georgia during a dispute.

Toney was reportedly brought into the Douglas County (Georgia) facility and is being charged on counts of aggravated assault in strangulation and obstructing or harassing 911 calls.

According to reports, a bail of $25,000 has been set by a judge on each of the counts he’s facing.

Records indicate that Toney was not in custody on February 7.

According to TMZ Sports, the NFL star allegedly put his hand around a woman’s throat and squeezed it “with enough force to cause her to be unable to [breathe].” 

Police documents indicate that red marks were seen on the woman’s neck, and there was petechial hemorrhaging identified in her eyes.

The NFL star also allegedly took the woman’s cell phone from her in an attempt to stop her from contacting the police.

26-year-old Toney featured in three games for the Cleveland Browns last season before he was released in December after a haunting penalty and a muffed punt in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Toney was a first-round pick by the New York Giants in 2021 and was later traded to the Kansas City Chiefs mid-season of the 2022 campaign.
