Johnny Manziel is once again involve in an alleged assault with a young woman.
This incident was in Texas, the state where Manziel earned the nickname "Johnny Football."
Fort
Worth police put out a press release about officers being dispatched an
apartment in that Texas city around 2 a.m. (3 a.m. ET) Saturday "in
reference to a report of a possible assault."
Police
didn't find whoever called in the report, "but did make contact with a
23-year-old female who stated that she was involved in a disturbance
with her ex-boyfriend (23-year-old male suspect) earlier in the evening
in Dallas."
A preliminary
investigation "determined that a possible assault had occurred in
[Dallas] or multiple jurisdictions," Fort Worth Police said.
The
woman, who was not identified by name, did not cooperate with officers,
who "were unable to locate a crime scene" in Fort Worth.
"The
complainant also advised our officers of concerns that she had
regarding the well-being of her ex-boyfriend," police said. Officers
eventually found him to be "safe and in no danger."
The
Fort Worth news release does not name either the woman or man involved.
But in tweeting out the report, Fort Worth police said it was
"regarding Johnny Manziel."
Dallas
police later released a statement of their own about "a possible offense
that may have occurred within the Dallas city limits."
"We
are in the preliminary stages of the investigation and have no further
information at this time," Dallas police said. "When additional
information becomes available it will be released as appropriate."
There was no immediate comment from Manziel.
His current pro team, the Cleveland Browns, declined to speak about the matter.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said simply, "We are aware of the incident and looking into it."
This
marks the latest time that the quarterback, a Heisman Trophy winner at
Texas A&M University and first-round draft pick with the Browns, has
had a run-in with the law.
Another happened October 12 in Avon, Ohio.
In
dashcam video, a police officer pulled up to Manziel and a woman --
later identified as his then-girlfriend -- parked along the side of a
two-lane road, telling them about "numerous calls" about their speeding
BMW. The woman claimed Manziel hit her several times to prevent her from
getting out of the vehicle, while downplaying the incident.
"I don't want to make a big deal," she said.

Manziel later tweeted that "J & I are good" and thanks those who "stopped to check on us and call the police."
