Ole Miss football quarterback AJ Maddox was arrested on a charge of simple domestic violence, according to Lafayette County Sheriff’s Office records. Maddox, 21, was booked into jail on October 20 at 6:41 a.m. He was entered into the system under his full first name, Anthony, confirming the serious nature of the situation.
The Disturbing Allegations Revealed
Seriously, this is a heavy one. The booking information from the Lafayette County Sheriff’s Office says Maddox is alleged to have “attempted by physical menace to put a domestic victim in fear of imminent serious bodily harm.” That’s not just some minor infraction, man. This is a 6-foot-1, 190-pound junior from Hattiesburg, and these are some really disturbing claims coming out about him. It’s a stark reminder that some things are way bigger than football.
Zero Snaps in 2026, Now This
What makes this even crazier from a football standpoint, though not lessening the gravity of the charge, is that Maddox hasn’t even hit the field in the 2026 season. Think about that: zero snaps, zero appearances. He barely saw any action last year either, playing in only two games in 2025 and completing just one single pass for 19 yards against The Citadel. So, while this is a devastating personal situation and a massive stain on the program’s image, it’s not like the team is suddenly losing a key starter or anything.
Man, this is just a brutal situation for everyone involved. With Maddox barely having been a blip on the radar for the Rebels in the last two seasons, this arrest for simple domestic violence, especially with the allegation of putting a victim in ‘fear of imminent serious bodily harm,’ just adds a whole other, dark layer to his story. It’s a tough one to process, for sure.
