Von Miller, a linebacker for the Buffalo Bills, surrenders after being accused of assaulting a pregnant woman.

Miller, who is most known for being the MVP of the 2016 Super Bowl while playing for the Denver Broncos, has an arrest warrant out of Dallas police.

Following the issuance of an arrest warrant on charges of assaulting a pregnant woman, Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller assumed the persona of a police officer in the Dallas region, according to officials on Thursday.

At 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Dallas police said in a statement that they were called to a “major disturbance” on the 3100 block of North Harwood Street.

According to police, Miller, 34, a former MVP of the Super Bowl, and the victim “got into a verbal argument and the suspect assaulted the victim.”

Authorities claim that by the time officers arrived, he had already left. Minor injuries were treated for by the victim.

According to officials, the warrant was issued by Dallas police on a charge of assault against a pregnant person.

Miller turned himself in to Glenn Heights police on Thursday at 3 p.m. The city is located in the metro area and is about 15 miles south of Dallas. According to Glenn Heights Police Chief Nick Bristow, Miller has bonded out of jail.

Messages requesting comment from Miller, his lawyer, and his representatives were not immediately answered.

Miller and the report-maker have been romantically involved for seven years, and they have children together, according to a police affidavit that is a part of the warrant.

The affidavit states that Miller got into a fight with the woman because she refused to go on her birthday. The affidavit stated that after she slammed a door, Miller became enraged and started yelling at her to leave the apartment.

The woman claimed to be pregnant, and Miller started to push her out of the apartment. At one point, he stepped on her foot and dropped her phone and laptop on the ground. According to the affidavit, he pulled her hair as she bent over to get it, which knocked her down.

Additionally, the woman allegedly felt pain from the suspect’s hands around her neck. The woman said she was six weeks pregnant, according to the affidavit, and he left when she said she was calling the police.

Growing up in the nearby Dallas suburb of DeSoto, Miller won the 2016 Super Bowl MVP award while playing for the Denver Broncos.

He’s been with the Bills for two seasons; this week they’re off.

The team representative said that on Thursday morning, the Bills “were made aware of an incident involving Von Miller.”

The representative went on, “We will not be providing any additional comments at this time as we are currently gathering more information.”

The NFL’s response to domestic abuse incidents by football players and their own behavior have come under increased scrutiny in the last ten years.

In 2014, Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice’s savage abuse of his fiancée was captured on camera. His initial two-game suspension caused a huge uproar and led to accusations that the NFL was not considering the offense seriously.

After being cut by the Ravens, Rice never returned to the NFL.

Domestic abuse can result in a player’s suspension of up to six games, “even in the event that the actions do not lead to a criminal conviction,” as per NFL policy.

In response to an alleged altercation with his child’s mother, Seattle Seahawks backup wide receiver Dee Eskridge was suspended for six games this season.
