WFAA has the exclusive 911 call from NFL star Von Miller’s girlfriend on Wednesday. When reached by text, she downplayed the incident to WFAA: ‘No one attacked anybody.’
DALLAS– Star NFL linebacker Von Miller is accused of assaulting his pregnant girlfriend at their high-rise apartment in Dallas today, according to multiple sources, authorities and court documents obtained by WFAA on Thursday.
Dallas police confirmed that a warrant for a third-degree felony charge of assaulting a pregnant person had been issued for Miller, a 34-year-old DeSoto native who plays for the Buffalo Bills.
Glenn Heights Police Chief Nick Bristow confirmed to WFAA that Miller turned himself in to the Glenn Heights Police Department at around 3 p.m. Thursday afternoon. Miller was then taken to the DeSoto Police Department jail to be processed, where he almost immediately posted a $5,000 bond and was released from custody.
WFAA reached out to the office of the attorney who is believed to be representing Miller, but the attorney was not immediately available for comment.
Miller’s team, the Buffalo Bills, released the following statement on the allegations: “This morning, we were made aware of an incident involving Von Miller. We are in the process of gathering more information and will have no further comment at this time.”
Police said that officers responded at 11 a.m. Wednesday to a “major disturbance” call in the 3100 block of North Harwood in the Uptown area of Dallas.
Officers arrived and found Miller’s longtime girlfriend with “minor abrasions” on her left hand and bruising on her neck– “injuries consistent with applied pressure to the neck,” according to an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by WFAA.
Officers found that Miller and the alleged victim were in an argument when Miller allegedly assaulted her, police said.
An arrest warrant affidavit said police found that Miller and his girlfriend were arguing in their bedroom because she didn’t want to travel on her birthday today.
The affidavit said the alleged victim went from the bedroom to the office of the apartment and slammed the door out of anger. Miller then became “visibly angry,” the affidavit said. He entered the office and yelled at his girlfriend to “get out” of the apartment, according to the affidavit.
The affidavit said the girlfriend “tried to comply” with Miller’s request to leave the apartment, but wanted to gather some items before leaving. As she did this, the affidavit said, Miller “began to push and shove her, all while telling her to leave from the premises.”
The affidavit said Miller then started trying to film his girlfriend on his phone, “all while continuing to push and shove” her out of the apartment.
The girlfriend kept yelling, “Stop! I’m pregnant!” according to the affidavit, but Miller reportedly kept pushing her.
The affidavit said Miller then “began applying pressure around the [girlfriend’s] neck for 3 to 5 seconds before releasing.”
The girlfriend attempted to collect her belongings,
