Jonathan Dwyer released from jail after domestic abuse charge

[Jazzy]

Arizona Cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer was released from jail early Thursday after being arrested on aggravated assault charges in connection with two altercations at his home in July involving a woman and their 18-month-old child, the latest in a string of such cases involving NFL players.

CBS affiliate KPHO-TV reports that Dwyer spent Wednesday night in jail after he was arraigned and was released about 5 a.m. Thursday morning on $25,000 bond. He mumbled something to reporters, and when asked if he would play football again, he said, "I will." He then got into a taxi and was driven away.

Dwyer, led to the jail in handcuffs on Wednesday, was charged with three counts, including "aggravated assault causing a fracture" involving the unidentified 27-year-old victim.

The Cardinals say they first learned of the domestic abuse accusations against Dwyer on Wednesday afternoon.

By evening, citing "the serious nature of these allegations," the team had deactivated Dwyer from all team activities.
