Cleveland Browns rookie defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. was arrested Tuesday on charges of domestic violence. According to police, Hall allegedly threatened his fiancée with a gun during an altercation. The incident occurred around 10pm Monday night when officers responded to a call from a woman claiming Hall had shoved her daughter and hit her with a baby bottle.
Avon Police confirmed Hall was arraigned at Avon Lake Municipal Court and expected to post bond. The Browns acknowledged the situation, stating Hall and his representatives were in touch with authorities, but declined to comment further. The team did not practice on Tuesday but had joint practices scheduled with the Minnesota Vikings on Wednesday and Thursday.
The incident report indicated Hall's fiancée said the fight escalated over financial concerns for their 11-month-old daughter. Hall, not the biological father, allegedly threw the woman's belongings outside, dragged her on her back, and held a gun to her temple, stating, "I will (expletive) end it all. I don't care." The woman did not seek medical treatment. Police found evidence including a damaged door frame and seized two handguns from the residence. It remains unclear if Hall has legal representation.
