Buffalo Bills’ Von Miller Disputes Domestic Violence Allegations Made Against Him

Von Miller: 'Me and my girlfriend, we have problems just like any other couple does, but there has never been any of those things that was alleged against me.'

Last month, NFL player Von Miller turned himself in to the police after being accused of assaulting a pregnant woman in Dallas. He recently stated that the allegations were “100 percent false” and “blown out of proportion.”

According to The Associated Press, Miller, who plays for the Buffalo Bills, spoke to the media and stated that something did happen between him and his girlfriend, but not to the level of which he has been accused. He claims it will be a matter of time before things can be cleared up about the incident.

“Everything was blown out of proportion. It was a crazy day. Whatever happened, I hate that it happened. I hate my name is attached to anything like that, and it’s just a matter of time until I can clear it up. Me and my girlfriend, we have problems just like any other couple does, but there has never been any of those things that was alleged against me,” he said.

Although he was arrested and charged with third-degree felony assault of a pregnant woman on Nov. 30 in Dallas, prosecutors have not filed any charges against Miller, according to Judge Steven Autry.

Miller was released after posting a $5,000 bond. If prosecutors decide to proceed with the charge and he is convicted, he would face 2 to 10 years in prison plus a $10,000 fine.

Since no charges have been filed against Miller, he can play while the district attorney’s office investigates the incident.

After the arrest, Miller spoke to team officials, including Bills owner Terry Pegula, general manager Brandon Beane, coach Sean McDermott, and the Dallas DA’s office, who were on the phone when Miller had the conversation.

“These guys know me, they’ve been around me,” Miller said. “Everyone can have a lapse in judgment, but that’s just not been me.”

He also gave assurance that the story that was told was not what took place.

“All of it is incorrect,” he said. “You know, it’s not a funny situation, but all of it is incorrect, and all of it is untrue. The only thing that is true is we do have a third son on the way.”

Miller recently played in a 24-22 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers last weekend.
