Denver Broncos defensive player Jonathon Cooper faces domestic violence-related legal proceedings after multiple arrests tied to an altercation involving his girlfriend. Reports say Cooper was arrested Thursday night and appeared in court afterward, with the case involving domestic violence charges and additional allegations. Several outlets report that Cooper has pleaded not guilty. One outlet states a trial is scheduled to begin July 22. Other coverage says Cooper is also dealing with stricter legal restrictions, including a no-contact/protection order, and that his later arrest followed alleged violations of that order. Yahoo Sports reports new charges tied to repeated phone calls and alleged violations of a protection order. Separately, Fox News reports that Cooper addressed the situation on Instagram with an apology and posted religious scripture. The Broncos’ offseason activities are also affected, with one report stating Cooper is excused from minicamp while he deals with the legal matters. Across outlets, the common elements are the arrests, the court process beginning with a not-guilty plea, and the July 22 trial date mentioned in coverage.
