Baltimore Ravens receiver Rashod Bateman stands accused of family violence in Georgia, with court records obtained by TMZ detailing an incident that led to his June arrest. Bateman reportedly turned himself in to the Walton County, Ga., Sheriff on the same day the alleged incident occurred.
What We Know About the Allegations
The allegations against Bateman are serious. He is accused of breaking the window of a car, and his three-month-old child was reportedly inside that vehicle at the time. The car in question belonged to the mother of his child. Bateman is now facing three charges in connection with this incident. It’s a heavy situation, and the details are definitely jarring.
The League and Team Respond
The Baltimore Ravens wasted no time in addressing the situation. In a statement, the team confirmed, “We are aware of the situation involving Rashod and have been in direct communication with him.” They also made it clear they’ve been keeping the league office in the loop and cooperating fully. However, they’re not diving into specifics, adding, “As this is a pending legal matter, we will not have further comment.” The NFL, for its part, also issued a statement via a spokesperson to USA TODAY Sports, saying, “The club has been in contact with the league regarding the matter which is under review.” It seems everyone is waiting for this legal process to unfold.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available, and the situation remains under review by the NFL.
