Jonathon Cooper Faces 2 Domestic Violence Counts as Affidavit Alleges Neck Grab and 3 Throws

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Jun 5

Summary

  • Court documents allege Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper grabbed Fiegen by the neck, lifted her off her feet, then threw her to the ground three times during a Thursday-night fight.
  • The affidavit says the dispute began after Fiegen accused Cooper of infidelity, took his phone to read messages, and then threw it against a wall; Cooper later admitted damaging her phone with irreplaceable voice notes from her late mother.
  • Police reported a small mark on Fiegen’s neck, a cut on her hand and scratches on her arm, though the affidavit said the injuries did not appear fully consistent with the attack she described.
  • Both were arrested on 2 domestic violence counts and 1 criminal mischief count in Douglas County, and Cooper, 28, was released on a personal recognizance bond with a Monday hearing set.
