Charges were filed against Josh Jacobs in August 2026 by the Brown County District Attorney's Office following an investigation into a May 2026 domestic altercation at his home in Hobart, Wisconsin. Jacobs faces two misdemeanor charges - battery and criminal damage to property. The charges stem from a physical dispute between Jacobs and his girlfriend over their cell phones.The dispute escalated in the home's garage, where it is alleged that Jacobs grabbed the woman and threw her to the ground, causing her to strike her head. Responding police noted a visible bump on her head alongside redness on her face and neck. Home surveillance video from the garage reportedly corroborated the woman's account, showing Jacobs taking and subsequently damaging her phone.
