In August, investigators met with Elliott’s accuser, Tiffany Thompson, who filed a police report with with the Columbus Police Department after posting photos to Instagram showing multiple bruises to various parts of her body. Four witnesses, including one who was sitting in the auto at the time of the alleged incident, told police that they did not observe an assault.

Elliott has maintained no wrongdoing in statements to police.

After reviewing the totality of the evidence, the City Attorney’s Office, Prosecutor Division is declining to approve criminal charges in this matter for any of the 5 alleged incidents. She accused Elliott of striking her in five separate incidents in July.

Then, Cowboys beat writer Clarence Hill stated the ex-girlfriend screamed domestic violence once Elliott broke off their relationship and that the bruises came from a bar fight she had with another woman.

In an official statement, the prosecutor’s office said charges would not be pursued due to “Conflicting and inconsistent information across all incidents resulting in concern regarding the sufficiency of the evidence to support the filing of criminal charges”. Four witnesses told authorities that they did not see the alleged assault. She also claimed that they lived together for approximately 3 months within the past year.
