Judkins, 21, was arrested Saturday in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and charged with touch or strike battery/domestic violence. The charge stems from a reported incident on July 7, when the woman told police Judkins punched her in the face while the two were in a car leaving the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. She also claimed he later struck her in the arm and thigh.
In the 911 call, the woman said she waited three days to contact police because she initially hoped to resolve the situation privately.
"I had a high-profile male that I was in a relationship with put his hands on me. This happened three days ago," the woman said. "I thought that we could work through it and obviously we couldn't. I'm trying to do the right thing now."
She added that she did not seek medical treatment but had "visible bruises and evidence" of what happened.

Officers with the Fort Lauderdale Police Department responded to her apartment and noted visible signs of injury, leading to Judkins' arrest. He was later booked by the Broward County Sheriff's Office.
Judkins, a second-round pick in April's draft, was selected 36th overall by the Browns. He began his college career at Ole Miss before transferring to Ohio State, where he helped lead the Buckeyes to a national title last season. He rushed for 3,785 yards and 45 touchdowns over three collegiate seasons, including a standout freshman year in 2022. He ran a 4.48-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine.
Regardless of the outcome of the legal case, Judkins could face discipline under the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy, which recommends a six-game suspension for domestic violence violations.
