Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller is reportedly facing arrest in Dallas after his pregnant girlfriend accused him of assault, according to WFAA.
Miller is facing a third-degree felony charge after the alleged assault took place in their home in Dallas on Wednesday morning. The warrant has been issued for his arrest, the Dallas Police Department has confirmed.

The Bills released a statement following Miller's arrest:
“This morning, we were made aware of an incident involving Von Miller. We are in the process of gathering more information and will have no further comment at this point.”
According to the police, Miller put his hands around the woman's neck twice, pulled out a chunk of her hair, and threw her onto the couch. She was reportedly treated for minor injuries.
Dallas News' Jamie Landers provided some additional context, also reporting that Miller "tried to destroy her laptop as she attempted to leave their apartment during an argument."
