DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News ) – NFL Star linebacker Von Miller is free on bond after police said his pregnant girlfriend accused him of assaulting her at their high-rise apartment in Dallas this week.
Dallas Police said a warrant for a third-degree felony charge of assaulting a pregnant person had been issued for Miller, a 34-year-old DeSoto native who is now a Buffalo Bills edge rusher.
Muller turned himself into the the Glenn Heights Police Department around 3 p.m. on Thursday. He was then taken to the DeSoto Police Department Jail for processing before posting a $5,000 bond.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by our media partner WFAA TV, officer’s responded at 11 a.m. on Wednesday to a “major disturbance” call in the 3100 block of North Harwood in the Uptown area of Dallas.
When officers arrived, they found Miller’s longtime girlfriend with “minor abrasions” on her left hand and bruising on her neck — “injuries consistent with applied pressure to the neck,” according to the affidavit.
Officers learned that Miller and the alleged victim were in an argument when Miller allegedly assaulted her, police said.
The affidavit states police learned that Miller and his girlfriend were arguing in their bedroom because she didn’t want to travel on her birthday this week. The alleged victim went from the bedroom to the office of the home and slammed the door out of anger. Miller then became “visibly angry,” the affidavit said.
It states he went into the office and yelled at his girlfriend to “get out” of the apartment.
The affidavit said the girlfriend “attempted to comply” with Miller’s request to leave the home, but wanted to gather some items before leaving. As she did this, the affidavit said, Miller “began to shove and push her, all while telling her to leave from the unit.”
The affidavit said Miller then began trying to film his girlfriend on his phone, “all while continuing to push and shove” her out of the home.
The girlfriend kept yelling, “Stop! I’m pregnant!” according to the affidavit, but Miller allegedly kept pushing her.
The affidavit said Miller then “began applying pressure around the [girlfriend’s] neck for 3 to 5 seconds before letting go.”
The girlfriend tried to gather her belongings, but Miller grabbed her phone, threw her laptop on the floor and stomped on it, the affidavit said.
When she tried to get her laptop from the floor, Miller “pulled her by her hair, ultimately pulling a chunk of hair out and causing her to fall to the ground,” the affidavit said.
At this point, according the the affidavit, the girlfriend began filming the incident on her phone own phone, which she put in her pocket. The affidavit said Miller then grabbed her and pushed her onto the couch, again placing pressure around her neck with both hands.
The girlfriend then got up and told Miller she was going to call police, per the affidavit. At that point, the affidavit said, Miller then left the home.
Miller was gone by the time officers arrived on the scene, police said.
His girlfriend told officers that she is six weeks pregnant, according to the affidavit. She was treated for minor injuries at the scene, and officers then took her to headquarters for a full interview about what happened, the affidavit stated.

Our media partner WFAA TV obtained a recording of the 911 call the girlfriend placed.
“My boyfriend is choking and hitting me… I have bruises all over me,” she can be heard saying. “My hair is out.”
Asked by the 911 dispatcher if her boyfriend was still with her, the girlfriend said, “He just stormed out.”
“I don’t know,” she said when asked by the dispatcher if she needed paramedics. “He pulled my hair out. I have, like, some blood on me — but not, like… yeah, I don’t know.”
Miller is in his second season with the Buffalo Bills, who are on a bye and not playing any games this week.
