Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has been named a suspect in a domestic violence police report obtained by TMZ Sports … but the 21-year-old has DENIED any wrongdoing and was NOT arrested.
The female accuser filed a report with the Columbus PD in Ohio Friday morning … saying she was assaulted by Elliott — who she claims is her former live-in boyfriend — while sitting in the driver’s seat of her parked vehicle.
The officers who responded to the scene say the woman claims she had pain in her wrist and a red mark — but declined medical treatment.
According to the report, cops also spoke with 4 witnesses — but they all told cops they didn’t see an assault. One of the witnesses was in the car at the time of the alleged incident.
Due to the conflicting reports, Elliott was NOT arrested — but the accuser was referred to the prosecutor’s office … if she wants to try to press charges.
Elliott’s girlfriend, Tiffany Thompson, posted these photos on her Instagram account showing bruises that she claims were a result of domestic abuse.
According to TMZ the NFL has already opened up an investigation into the matter.
“We begin a review when we become aware of a potential violation of the personal conduct policy,” the rep explained.
