The Dallas Police Department has conducted the appropriate investigative follow-up to the report forwarded to us by the Ft.
Colleen Crowley, Manziel’s ex-girlfriend, told officers she had been with Manziel and others at the ZaZa hotel in Dallas but that the pair were left alone after other friends left.
Crowley described the incident in vague terms, the report states. She said that Manziel hit her several more times while he was driving.
Police were unable to locate Manziel after an exhaustive search by helicopters and ground patrol, according to police.
Citing a police report, the Associated Press reported that Crowley told authorities that Manziel was “aggressive” toward her after they met in a Dallas hotel. She told police he would not give her her phone. She says at various times Manziel threatened to kill her and kill himself where their argument continued before Crowley finally called police after Manziel took off and left in anger. Police tried calling Manziel and later determined he was safe. Crowley told police he may have gone to his family home nearby, but she was not sure of the address.
According to WFAA.com, Manziel drove Crowley to her auto, and she said she jumped out, but he found her hiding in some bushes.
She says she thought he was on drugs or maybe having a psychotic break. The different location is one of the reasons Fort Worth police listed for taking an “information only report”.

It appears to have been the last straw for the Cleveland Browns, who are expected to cut him on March 9, the date that the National Football League year officially begins. The Cowboys have always been tied to Manziel because of owner Jerry Jones’ interest in him after he nearly drafted him in the first round in 2014.
Not long after, Manziel was stripped of his starting job by former coach Mike Pettine after the quarterback had promised he would not be a distraction during the team’s bye week.
The NFL typically doesn’t move swiftly with its rulings on suspensions.
Manziel got his job back after Josh McCown broke his collarbone, but he was ruled out of the season finale with a concussion.
Manziel burst onto the national sports scene in 2012 while a freshman at Texas A&M University.
It’s the second time since October that Manziel has been under review by the league for a domestic incident. Manziel is still now on the Cleveland Browns roster, but as we reported earlier, he will not be returning. He reportedly lied to Browns officials about the video.
New details were revealed Thursday regarding Johnny Manziel’s latest incident. He was questioned by Avon, Ohio, police after he got in an argument with then-girlfriend Crowley.

In a public statement released in April, Manziel apologized to the Browns and their fans, saying that what he had “learned in the last couple of months has been tremendous”. Manziel then failed to report to a scheduled medical treatment on January 3 at the team’s training facility while his teammates played Pittsburgh.
