Cowboys RB Joseph Randle accused of domestic violence

Joseph Randle's since-removed tweet this week noted that he's 'Learning the value of a good lawyer each day.'

If his ex-girlfiend and mother of his child is telling the truth, Randle's assessment of his legal situation is correct.

While sources tell FOX Sports Southwest that the Dallas Cowboys' investigation of the situation leads them to believe domestic violence was not involved in a police call to a Wichita, Kan., hotel that led to the backup running back being listed on the police department's "arrest" list, Dalia Jacobs tells a story involving violence and gunplay.

Jacobs tells KWCH-TV: "Joseph puts his gun up. He walks back to the car, he looks in it, and then he just punches it with his fist. Glass splatters everywhere. There's glass in my son's hair. It hit him and that's when he starts crying."

The incident, which resulted in a 3 a.m. call to the police, is still being investigated. Ronald's agent, Erik Burkhardt, insists his client was "ticketed" rather than "arrested." But that's a semantic difference that seems immaterial if Jacobs is accurate in her description of the meeting both sides was arranged so Randle could see his infant son.

The report says situation led Jacobs to file a protection from abuse order, and that the state is now intervening to get Randle, the Cowboys backup running back scheduled to make $585,000 this year, to pay his child support.
