Multiple other women contacted police to report abuse allegations against Josh Jacobs while the Green Bay Packers running back was being investigated for a different incident in May, according to Northeast Wisconsin's NBC26 .

Previously unreleased files obtained by NBC26 on Friday show that the Hobart/Lawrence Police Department was contacted by at least three other women accusing Jacobs of abuse.

One woman contact police in June 2026 while they were investigating Jacobs. She told them that she had a prior experience with Jacobs in January 2022 that sounded similar. The woman did not originally make a report with police, but came forward because she felt her incident could help with the current case.

The woman alleged that Jacobs slapped her in the face and took her cellphone as she tried to leave his home, according to the records. She told investigators that Jacobs grabbed her by the hair, pinned her down on a bed and later threw her onto the floor, while also spitting on her and grabbing her by the throat.

After meeting Jacobs through Instagram, the woman said the two spoke for six months before meeting in person. After the alleged incident, she said they remained friends and that she did not want to report him to police.

That same month another woman contacted police telling them that Jacobs grabbed her arms, pushed her against a wall and threw items of hers outside of the home in April 2021. The woman said she had swelling by her rib area and suffered bruising to her arms. She contacted police at the time and said she was told the incident was not being investigated as a domestic incident because the two were not in a relationship.

A third woman called Hobart/Lawrence Police in May 2022 to report that Jacobs grabbed her by the head, dragged her, scratched her chest, and took her phone after it fell on the floor. That woman said she had bruising on her arm and scratches on her chest and that she did not report what happened to police at the time because she felt she could be deported.

"The Brown County District Attorney's office had these uncorroborated, old, and previously unreported allegations for months," Jacobs' attorneys said in a statement . "They conducted their own exhaustive investigation, along with the police department, and the D.A. determined that only two misdemeanor charges were warranted. They then entered into a plea agreement with Josh Jacobs. Josh has repeatedly expressed his remorse and is honoring the terms of the agreement."

Jacobs was arrested in northern Wisconsin on May 26 and charged with multiple counts of domestic abuse. The charges stemmed from an incident three days prior, when Jacobs allegedly grabbed a woman trying to leave his garage and threw her to the ground. He was formally charged with two of those counts, battery and criminal damage to property, the week before he was placed on the commissioner's exempt list and missed the first six weeks of the NFL season. He pleaded no contest to both charges .

The NFL could still hand down a suspension to Jacobs, who returned to play in Week 7, for violating the league's personal conduct policy with these new accusations being considered.

"We will review these allegations as part of the investigation which has remained open," the NFL said in a statement on Saturday.
