Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins accused of punching woman with ‘closed fist' as new details in arrest emerge

15-07-2025

Cleveland Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins allegedly struck a woman in the mouth with a "closed fist" during a physical altercation that led to his arrest in Florida earlier this month, according to new details.
Judkins, who was drafted by the Browns with the 36th overall pick following a standout season at Ohio State, was arrested by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department over the weekend and charged with battery and domestic violence following an incident that occurred with a romantic partner on July 7.
The couple began arguing after flying into Fort Lauderdale Airport, the NFL Network reported, citing a police report.
The woman claimed that Judkins was seemingly upset over text messages that he received from family members while the pair was waiting for their luggage at baggage claim. The police report did not detail what was said in the text messages, but the woman told law enforcement that she was attempting to dispel whatever was said in the messages.
After getting in their rental car outside the airport, the woman claimed that the argument turned physical.
"The victim stated that the defendant then punched her in the mouth/chin area with a closed fist," the police report read, noting that the woman still had visible bruising on her chin area.
The argument continued in the vehicle, and according to the report, the woman at one point sat in the back of the car.
"The victim stated that the defendant turned around while he was driving and struck her additional times in the left arm and leg," the report stated, noting additional bruising in those areas.
The woman contacted the police days later on July 12, telling law enforcement that she did not report the alleged incident immediately because she "felt bad due to the recent success and career of the defendant."
Judkins was released on Sunday after he posted a $2,500 bond. The judge ordered the NFL player not to be in contact with the alleged victim and have no access to firearms.
A Browns spokesman said the team is aware of the incident and gathering more information.

Professional fighter receives permanent ban from Southwest Airlines

Outlets are reporting he is no longer welcome on the airline A Brazilian Jiu Jitsu expert and a mixed martial arts fighter has received a lifetime ban from Southwest Airlines after an incident with a flight attendant was caught on video. The videos were posted across multiple social media platforms. In them, Aaron 'Tex' Johnson is arguing with other passengers, as he tries to crawl over his seat, calling at least one of them "a loser." The flight attendants rush to intervene, pulling the fighter upright as he yells, "assault!" It is clear that the plane is still at the airport because in a second video the fighter is being kicked off the plane. He starts walking towards the door as the other passengers shout, 'Bye!' Johnson faces the group and begins to scream. The flight attendant reacts by attempting to push Johnson. Several male passengers stand nearby, clearly signalling to Johnson that they are ready to help the flight crew if needed. In a different video posted to X, Johnson is at the airport with a police escort. The fighter is being wheeled in a stretcher as he screams, 'I'm being treated like a Black person right now.' According to the New York Post, Johnson has since followed up with a post on Instagram Stories: 'For anyone trying to drag me down, it doesn't matter to me, I have the best friends.' Multiple outlets are reporting that Johnson's behavior earned him a permanent ban from Southwest Airlines. Solve the daily Crossword
