When authorities arrived at Jacobs’ home, he was not there. He left the scene in his Mercedes G-Wagon, although police followed his license plate readers. A call was made to stop the vehicle if it was seen on the road.
Jacobs was arrested Tuesday following an investigation by the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department and booked on five charges related to domestic abuse.
Jacobs was booked into the Brown County Jail on charges of domestic violence, domestic abuse, destruction of property, disorderly conduct in domestic abuse, strangulation and suffocation, and intimidating the victim, the department said in a statement. Strangulation and strangulation are felonies, while the other four are misdemeanors, according to Brown County Jail records.

The statement stated that the investigation is active and ongoing.
Jacobs’ attorneys, David Z. Chesnoff and Clarence Duchac, say the 28-year-old denies all charges.
“Josh vehemently denies the allegations and this matter is in the early stages of investigation with significant evidence that has not yet been made public,” the attorneys’ statement said. The statement was included.
“We want justice and moderation while the judicial process continues.”
The NFL was made aware of the situation and contacted the Packers. Green Bay also told The Athletic it would not comment due to the ongoing investigation into the matter.
