Packers’ Star Josh Jacobs Denies Stangulation & Domestic Violence Charges

Josh Jacobs was arrested Tuesday in Wisconsin on multiple charges connected to an alleged domestic disturbance.

Jacobs, the starting running back for the Green Bay Packers, was booked into Brown County Jail on five charges: battery (domestic abuse), criminal damage to property (domestic abuse), disorderly conduct (domestic abuse), intimidation of a victim, and felony strangulation and suffocation.

Jacobs strongly denied the allegations through his attorneys. The news came as a shock because, going back to his Raiders days with Jon Gruden and his time at Alabama under Nick Saban, Jacobs was always seen as calm and rarely showed much of his personality online.

About six months ago, Jacobs announced he was dating Instagram model Ash Kash. He said he felt comfortable and like he could be himself.

Kash previously dated Sharife Cooper, who played for the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA. She has a history of dating athletes.=​

This situation brings major concern heading into the 2026 NFL season, as Jacobs remains one of the Packers’ most important players—especially at running back—after signing a four-year, $48 million contract with Green Bay in 2024.​

If the Packers lose him, it would be a huge loss after his impact on the ground last season. Green Bay will conduct its own investigation, and depending on the outcome, Jacobs could face discipline under the NFL’s personal conduct policy. Both the league and the team are waiting to see how the situation develops.
