The woman who accused Dallas Cowboys star Ezekiel Elliott of abusing her for five days in July also called police on him months before the NFL Draft, alleging she suffered left shoulder pain from the force of Elliott pushing her up against a wall during an argument that turned physical, Tom Pelissero and A.J. Perez of USA Today report.. An incident report obtained Friday from the Aventura (Fla.) Police Department said there were no visible signs of injury and that the accuser declined to go to the hospital after police responded to a call about an altercation at Elliott’s apartment Feb. 12.
Elliott wasn’t arrested. Terry Chavez, spokesperson for the Miami-Dade State Attorney's office, said the case was not forwarded to prosecutors for review. Chavez said there's no record the accuser pursued charges on her own.
It’s unclear whether the NFL, which continues to investigate the July allegations against Elliott that were reported to police in Columbus, Ohio, is aware of the previous allegation in Florida and whether it could influence a decision on potential discipline under the personal conduct policy, given the report was filed before Elliott was drafted in April.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league doesn’t comment on active and ongoing investigations.
