According to sources, the linebacker’s longtime girlfriend has leveled an accusation against him, saying that he physically abused her on Wednesday at their Dallas home. Miller’s girlfriend is expecting a child. According to reports, Miller’s attorney has been alerted about the matter and the fact that a formal warrant has been issued.
Von Miller is facing charges of assault on a pregnant woman.
Miller was not in custody at the time of writing. The Bills are on bye this week, so the linebacker is at home in Dallas rather than with the team.
This is not the former Los Angeles Rams star’s first run-in with the police. Miller was being investigated in 2021, but the district attorney’s office declined to press charges. Ultimately, the contents of that case were kept hidden, and he suffered no legal or NFL repercussions.
The top pass rusher is facing a third-degree felony accusation of abusing a pregnant person. The former Denver Broncos star has not spoken, but the organization has issued the following statement:
“We were made aware of an incident involving Von Miller this morning.” We are seeking further information and will have no further comment at this time.”

“This morning, we were made aware of an incident involving Von Miller. We are in the process of gathering more information and will have no further comment at this point.”
Regardless of whether the issue is resolved and charges are made against Miller, the NFL will likely investigate and decide on a potential penalty. At the time of writing, the only thing that had occurred was the issuance of the arrest warrant.

Miller just signed a six-year, $120 million contract with the Bills after departing the franchise with which he won the 2021 Super Bowl. He has a ton of sacks as one of the best edge rushers of this age, but his career is now in doubt.
