Story update: The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s office released the following statement on Twitter: “Professional football player Jerry Jeudy has been arrested by Arapahoe Co sheriff deputies. He’s being held at the Arapahoe Co jail on charges of 2nd degree criminal tampering w/a domestic violence enhancer, a misdemeanor. He’s on a no bond hold. He’s innocent until proven guilty.” See our original post below.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was taken into custody by the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s office on Thursday, Zach Bye of 104.3 The Fan first reported Thursday afternoon.
Because Jeudy has not been booked yet, there’s been no word so far on charges, according to Parker Gabriel of USA TODAY Sports. At the time of this writing, Jeudy is in the Arapahoe County Jail in Centennial.
Jeudy, 23, was selected by the Broncos in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft out of Alabama. He’s struggled to live up to his first-round potential so far due in large part to the team’s quarterback play over the last two years — he’s played with Drew Lock, Jeff Driskel, Brett Rypien, Kendall Hinton and Teddy Bridgewater.
With Russell Wilson now in Denver, Jeudy has been expected to take a step forward in his career this fall, but it obviously remains to be seen how much Thursday’s development will impact the receiver’s 2022 season.
