Summary

  • Jonathon Cooper was released Friday on a personal recognizance bond after a Douglas County court hearing, with the Denver Broncos linebacker due back Monday to enter a plea.
  • Two domestic violence counts and one criminal mischief count stem from a fight with his girlfriend at his home, where authorities say the pair struggled over a phone during an argument over alleged cheating.
  • The affidavit cited by TMZ says she threw Cooper’s phone against a wall, and Cooper later broke her iPhone screen after demanding that she leave.
  • Both Cooper and the woman were arrested, and the Broncos and Cooper’s agency did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
  • Cooper, 28, is a five-year Broncos veteran who posted 50 tackles and 8 sacks last season and signed a four-year, $60 million extension in 2024.
