Browns Rookie Quinshon Judkins Arrested for Alleged Domestic Violence in Florida

In a troubling turn of events, Cleveland Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins finds himself in hot water after being arrested in Florida on charges of battery and domestic violence. The incident, which occurred on July 7, allegedly involved Judkins striking a romantic partner with a closed fist during a heated argument that escalated after landing at Fort Lauderdale Airport.

According to the police report, the altercation began over text messages Judkins received from family members while waiting at baggage claim. The situation reportedly turned physical once the couple entered their rental car, with the woman sustaining visible bruising on her chin, arm, and leg after being struck multiple times. The delayed report to authorities—made on July 12—came with the explanation that the woman hesitated due to Judkins’ recent career success.

Judkins, a standout from Ohio State and the Browns’ 36th overall draft pick, was released on a $2,500 bond with strict orders to avoid contact with the alleged victim and to have no access to firearms. The Browns organization has acknowledged the incident and is currently gathering more details.

This case casts a dark shadow over what should be a promising start for the young athlete. It’s a stark reminder that talent on the field doesn’t excuse behavior off it, and the consequences—both legal and professional—could be significant as this story unfolds.
