Josh Jacobs, the Green Bay Packers' star running back, recently turned himself in to the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department following a reported domestic disturbance on Saturday. The alleged victim is his girlfriend, influencer Ash Kaashh. However, Jacobs has since been released from custody, and no charges have been filed.
Robert Griffin III Speaks Out
Former NFL star Robert Griffin III took to X (formerly Twitter) to post, "Real men don't hit women". Although he did not explicitly name Jacobs, fans quickly linked the post to the incident. The comment sparked a heated debate among followers. One fan wrote, "REAL men wait until all the facts have been presented before chirping out some stupid shit online", while another said, "Thank you for being the first and only NFL player, past or present, to speak out on this."
Why Was Josh Jacobs Released?
According to District Attorney David Lasee, the standard for arrest is probable cause, but filing charges requires a higher standard—proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The existing evidence reportedly does not meet that threshold. The DA's office has requested additional information from the police department.
Jacobs' attorneys, David Chesnoff, Richard A. Schonfeld, and Clarence Duchac, released a statement: "We are extremely pleased that Josh has been released from custody and that no criminal charges have been filed against him. As we previously stated, we encourage everyone to keep an open mind while the matter is fully reviewed. We remain confident that, once all of the evidence is gathered and evaluated, it will confirm that no charges should be brought against Josh in the future."
Ash Kaashh Stays Silent
Ash Kaashh, the popular influencer and alleged victim, has not publicly commented on the incident. No confirmation of her involvement has been made official.
