Summary
Denver Broncos edge rusher Jonathon Cooper faces escalating legal trouble after being booked into jail on new felony and misdemeanor charges tied to a violent incident with his girlfriend. Court docs reveal additional counts including second-degree assault by strangulation, third-degree assault, harassment, and violating a protective order. His girlfriend alleges he lifted her off the ground, held her against a wall, threw her, and punched a wall near her face during an argument. Cooper pleaded not guilty to initial charges and apologized on Instagram, calling the incident inconsistent with his character. He’s a key Broncos starter under contract through 2028, with a motion hearing set for July 6 and trial beginning July 22 — the NFL will likely wait for legal proceedings before considering discipline.
