Johnny Manziel's ex-girlfriend tells police he struck her


CLEVELAND (AP) — Johnny Manziel's ex-girlfriend told police the Cleveland Browns quarterback hit her during an argument last weekend in Texas and said he appeared to be on drugs, according to a police report.

The report released today by Fort Worth police provides the first details of the altercation that took place between Manziel and Colleen Crowley. Manziel was being investigated for a possible assault on Crowley, but both Fort Worth and Dallas police have not charged him with a crime.

Manziel, however, is facing punishment by the NFL, which is investigating the incident. League spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email to The Associated Press that "we are aware of the police report. Our review is continuing."

It's the second time since October that Manziel has been under review by the league for a domestic incident. He was cleared of wrongdoing after police were called when he and Crowley got into a heated roadside argument in Avon, Ohio.

Crowley told police that Manziel was "aggressive" toward her after they were out with friends on Friday night at the Zaza Hotel in Dallas. She said he struck her, including once in the left ear, before they drove back to her Fort Worth apartment.
