Buffalo Bills Von Miller facing arrest, accused of assaulting a pregnant woman

Police in Dallas have issued an arrest warrant for Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller on charges stemming from a "major disturbance" at a home on Wednesday.

According to police, they were called to the home and a preliminary investigation determined that Miller, 34, and the victim got into a verbal argument and the suspect assaulted the victim. They said Miller left the scene before they arrived.

The victim was treated for minor injuries and an arrest warrant was issued for Miller for allegedly assaulting a pregnant person.

The Bills issued a statement Thursday acknowledging that they are aware of the incident and "are in the process of gathering more information."

The team said it would have no further comment at this point.

Miller's agent did not immediately reply to a request for comment from USA TODAY Sports. The Bills are in the midst of their bye week following a 37-34 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

The NFL said it is also aware of the matter and has been in contact with the Bills.

"We have no further comment at this time," NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy wrote in an email. "The league will monitor all legal developments in the case."

Miller, selected No. 2 overall by the Denver Broncos in the 2011 NFL draft, is an eight-time Pro Bowl selection and three-time first-team Pro Bowl selection.

He was signed by the Bills to a six-year deal worth up to $102 million in 2022 . He was injured in the first half of the 2022 Thanksgiving Day game in Detroit when his leg got caught under a Lions offensive lineman and spent the rest of that season on injured reserve. He returned to play for the Bills during their 25-20 loss to the Jaguars in London this season.
