Police begin criminal investigation into Manziel's alleged domestic violence incident

The Dallas Police Department has initiated a criminal investigation into domestic assault allegations involving Johnny Manziel.

A Texas judge issued a protective order barring Manziel from contacting his ex-girlfriend, Colleen Crowley, for two years. Crowley reportedly wants the district attorney to press charges and presented her own statement to the Dallas Police Department, according to Rebecca Lopez of WFAA.

The police released the following statement:

Following yesterday’s release, today the Dallas Police Department received a complaint of a domestic violence assault that occurred in Dallas on January 30, 2016. A criminal investigation into the incident, in which Johnathan Manziel is the listed suspect, has been initiated. Detectives will thoroughly investigate the case to determine what criminal charges, if any, will be filed and victim services will be offered.

As there are many emotional factors involved, it is not uncommon for a victim of domestic violence to question or delay reporting an assault. This is an on-going investigation and updates will be made as information becomes available.

Manziel was not charged with a crime.
