Police arrested the Arizona Cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer on suspicion of aggravated assault, according to a spokesman for Phoenix police.
Police did not immediately release any details related to his arrest, but a police source said Dawyer and a woman in which the player has to do would be involved in an act of domestic violence.
Dwyer’s arrest came after the NFL has held a series of penalties on players who have been arrested or convicted on charges of domestic abuse.
Due to recent reports of domestic violence, the NFL expanded its sanctions to include suspension of six league games in a first complaint to the cessation of all staff with regard to the league.
Dwyer is in his fifth season in the National Football League after playing with the Pittsburgh Steelers their first four years of his career.
Dwyer signed a one year contract with the Cardinals last March and so far added 51 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries in two games this season.
