Joseph Randle’s ex-girlfriend requests protective order against him
The ex-girlfriend of Cowboys running back Joseph Randle has asked a Kansas court to issue a protective order against him, saying he “has a history of being both physically and emotionally abusive towards me,” Naheed Rajwani of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Randle was arrested early Tuesday and cited for unlawful possession of a controlled substance. Wichita police Lt. James Espinoza said today that the misdemeanor charge against Randle was dropped because police received “inconsistent stories, statements from individuals out there.”
Espinoza said police are still investigating what transpired Tuesday, and the accusations of domestic violence against Randle. Police do not know yet what charges, if any, will be filed.
“We’re still actively investigating this incident. We take domestic violence very serious … This is not over,” Espinoza said.
If Randle is eventually charged with a domestic violence crime, he would be in line for a six-game suspension by the NFL for a first offense under the league’s new, toughened policy that went into effect before the start of the season. A second domestic violence offense would mean a lifetime ban from the NFL for Randle.
Early Tuesday, Randle’s ex-girlfriend Dalia Jacobs called 911 to report a domestic violence disturbance at a hotel where Randle was staying. Jacobs, who said she has two children with Randle, told police he was “being out of control.”
The next day, Jacobs filed a petition for a protective order in the District Court of Sedgwick County. A hearing is scheduled for Feb. 19.
In the petition, Jacobs accused Randle of being abusive and also threatening to take her child away from her.
She said Randle became angry with her on Monday in front of their son, Daniel. Jacobs said her friend took Daniel out of the home and put him in the passenger seat of her car.
Jacobs alleged that Randle walked to his vehicle, retrieved a handgun and pointed the gun at Jacobs’ friend.
“He told me at this point that he was going to ‘blast the vehicle,’” Jacobs wrote in the filing.
She said Randle then smashed the car window with his fist, causing glass to shatter across the couple’s son and Jacobs’ friend.
“The defendant has a violent temper and gets angry quickly,” Jacobs wrote.
Espinoza, the Wichita police spokesman, said police did not find a weapon inside the hotel room, which was rented to Randle.
“It was reported to police that a weapon might have been at that location and left with another person that we have not been able to find,” he said.
While police didn’t find a gun, they did find “a small amount of green botanical substance” and initially charged him with unlawful possession of a controlled substance.
Now that the drug charge has been dropped, Espinoza said police are taking a step back to review witness statements and what officers observed when they were dispatched on Tuesday.

Randle needs to go
Randles lawyer denies violence
Joseph Randle’s attorney issued a statement Saturday in which he denies allegations that the Dallas Cowboys running back threatened his ex-girlfriend and brandished a gun during a dispute early Tuesday morning at a downtown Wichita hotel.
The full statement from Gary L. Ayers of Wichita, Kan., reads: “Joseph Randle regrets that he was recently involved in a party in a Wichita, Kansas hotel that ended with the Wichita Police being called. There are no criminal charges. A woman who was present at the party has filed a protection from abuse lawsuit, which Randle believes to have no merit. Randle asked the woman to leave the party and go home, which she refused to do.
“Contrary to the woman’s allegations, Randle did not threaten her or brandish a gun at any time. Randle has retained counsel who will contact the Wichita police to offer cooperation with any further investigation they may want to conduct. Until that time, Randle has been advised by counsel to not discuss the incident. He very much appreciates the many statements of support from his family, friends, and fans.”
Charlie O’Hara, the attorney for Dalia JacobsRandle’s ex-girlfriend, said she has spoken to police multiple times and done media interviews.
