Cleveland Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins allegedly struck a woman in the mouth with a "closed fist" during a physical altercation that led to his arrest in Florida earlier this month, according to new details. 

Judkins, who was drafted by the Browns with the 36th overall pick following a standout season at Ohio State, was arrested by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department over the weekend and charged with battery and domestic violence following an incident that occurred with a romantic partner on July 7.

The woman claimed that Judkins was seemingly upset over text messages that he received from family members while the pair was waiting for their luggage at baggage claim. The police report did not detail what was said in the text messages, but the woman told law enforcement that she was attempting to dispel whatever was said in the messages. 

After getting in their rental car outside the airport, the woman claimed that the argument turned physical.

"The victim stated that the defendant then punched her in the mouth/chin area with a closed fist," the police report read, noting that the woman still had visible bruising on her chin area.
