Officers met with a 23-year-old woman who claimed she had been involved in an incident with an ex-boyfriend earlier in the evening, but refused to cooperate with police and no evidence of a crime scene was found.

The police report stated that the woman was concerned about the well-being of Manziel, which launched an effort to locate him that involved the police’s helicopter unit.

A representative from the police department said Manziel was not arrested, and police was working to gather more information. She was uncooperative with officers and raised concerns about her ex-boyfriend’s well-being.

Authorities determined after a preliminary investigation that “a possible assault had occurred” in Dallas or elsewhere outside of Fort Worth.

Authorities said in a statement that officers were called to an apartment building early that morning about a possible assault.

Early this month, several reports said Manziel went to a Las Vegas nightclub wearing a blond wig and fake mustache, calling himself Billy, the night before the Browns’ season finale against Pittsburgh. An NFL spokesman says the league is looking into the matter. The police declined to make an arrest. He then deemed the helicopter’s use appropriate if the senior officer at the scene made that decision.

New Browns head coach Hue Jackson, per a source cited by ESPN’s Dan Graziano, has made it clear internally that he doesn’t want Manziel to be his starting quarterback. “… I think what we need to do is look to the future and find what we think is going to be the best fit for us and go from there”.

“I take full responsibility for my actions and it’s my intention to work very hard to regain everyone’s trust and respect”, Manziel said after getting out of rehab and getting back to work”.

“I think what you do is you start to build a team through the right vision”.

“Johnny Football” formerly played for Texas A&M University.

He spent 10 weeks last offseason in a facility that specializes in treating addictions.

With Manziel’s struggles, the Cleveland Browns also struggled as a team.
