According to AL.com, Dareus pushed her girlfriend to the ground and used a metal object to hit her car, causing damage in excess of $2,500. Dareus turned himself in on the night of the incident, but was released after around an hour after posting a $36,000 bond.

Despite Dareus turning himself in, his lawyer issued a statement following his arrest.

“As with all individuals charged with a crime, any allegations by the state of Alabama is merely an accusation that has to be proven to a jury’s satisfaction beyond a reasonable doubt,’’ said the former defensive tackle's lawyer, Tommy Spina.

“Until that occurs, he is entitled to the constitutional protections of the presumption of innocence.”
