“There has been no determination as to what charge, if any, will be filed against Mr. Manziel,” Maj. Midge Boyle said in a press conference called by the police department Saturday afternoon.

The video comes from the Hotel Zaza in Dallas, where Manziel’s former girlfriend, Colleen Crowley, alleges the assault began on Jan. 29.

According to the Dallas Morning News, the investigation, which began two weeks ago, is expected to be concluded by the end of the week.

In an affidavit seeking an order of protection, Crowley stated that the two had argued in Manziel’s hotel room before he led her back downstairs to the valet station. She told the valet that she was “scared for my life” and said the valet answered that he didn’t know what to do. When Manziel’s car arrived, she claimed that he threw her into the passenger seat. ESPN reports that video of the exchange with the valet is among the footage they are examining.

Crowley also alleges that, during the incident, Manziel broke her eardrum after he struck her:

“He grabbed me by my hair and threw me back into the car and got back in himself. He hit me with his open hand on my left ear for jumping out of the car. I realized immediately that I could not hear out of that ear, and I still cannot today, two days later. Fearful for my life, I hit Respondent several times, hoping I could back out of the car. Respondent threw me off of him and I hit my head on the car window and I fell into the passenger floorboard. Still fearful for my life, I stayed in the floorboard motionless until Respondent pulled me back onto the seat.”

As Manziel drove toward her apartment, she claims that he told her he planned to drop her off and commit suicide.

“I started crying even more,” Crowley said in the affidavit, “and he told me ‘Shut up or I’ll kill us both!’ Then I started begging him not to kill me and he immediately responded, ‘I would never kill you. You don’t deserve that. I would only kill myself!’ He was not making sense.”

Manziel has been dumped by his agent and will likely be released by the Browns next month. He has not made any official comment on the alleged incident, although his father has.

“I truly believe if they can’t get him help,” Paul Manziel told the Morning News, he won’t live to see his 24th birthday.”
