Evans later posted that she had previously filed police reports, and nothing had been done up to that point.

#zacstacy #domesticviolence The Florida justice system has been failing me. I have filed police reports previously and the State Attorney hasn’t picked them up. Other women fall victim to this everyday. Please call attention to the Florida State Attorney. pic.twitter.com/ugaXNdSfzR

Stacy was arrested Thursday night in Florida after reportedly being on the run. According to Orange County Corrections Department records, the 30-year-old former NFL running back who played for the New York Jets and the Los Angeles Rams was charged with aggravated battery and criminal mischief for the assault captured on video.

Evans set up a GoFundMe account in support of domestic violence abuse victims.

“I would like to raise awareness for domestic violence victims and become an advocate. I want to encourage all men and women who have been a victim of domestic violence to reach out to your local domestic violence center for help, and I would like to help provide better resources for them.”
