Details emerge from Quinshon Judkins’ domestic violence arrest
Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins’ arrest occurred Saturday after police had been called for a “delayed battery” and then “determined a battery had occurred,” a Fort Lauderdale Police Department Media Relations Unit spokesperson told ESPN.
Police officers arrived at a location on West Cypress Creek Road around 9 a.m., spoke with the victim and then “made contact” with Judkins, 21, to arrest him, Sergeant David Soika told the outlet in his statement.

It’s unclear where Judkins, the former Ohio State star who was drafted in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, was located when police spoke with the victim, or when the alleged incident occurred.
Judkins was charged with a misdemeanor battery (domestic) crime, according to the Soika’s statement, and his inmate log described the charge as “touch or strike/battery/domestic viol[ence].”
He was still being held in the Broward County main jail as of early Sunday afternoon, with his bond listed at $2,500, according to his inmate log.
In a statement Saturday night, a Browns spokesman told the Akron Beacon Journal that the team was “aware and gathering information.”
The initial court appearance for Judkins had been scheduled for Sunday morning, according to ESPN.
An official from the NFL told the outlet that the league is “aware of the matter but will decline further comment.”
Judkins, selected at No. 37 overall after helping the Buckeyes win the College Football Playoff championship last season, was positioned near the top of the Browns’ running back depth chart entering training camp — with Nick Chubb leaving for a one-year, $2.5 million deal in Houston and Jerome Ford the only true competition for Judkins.
Following two seasons with Ole Miss, Judkins transferred to Ohio State in 2024 and collected 1,060 yards — along with 14 touchdowns — during his final collegiate season.
“He brings the brand of football that we want, AFC North ‘back,’” assistant general manager and vice president of player personnel Glenn Cook said of the 5-foot-11, 225-pound running back following the draft, according to the team website. “Exceptionally strong, physical, tough, productive three-down guy.”
Judkins still hadn’t signed his rookie deal with the Browns.
