Former Ohio State and current Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Mike Hall was arrested following a domestic dispute Monday evening, an Avon Police Department spokesperson confirmed to Browns beat reporters.
Hall was involved in an alleged domestic violence incident around 10 p.m. Monday, according to an Avon Police Department report The Chronicle-Telegram obtained. The mother of Hall's fiancée called the police and said Hall pushed her daughter and struck her with a baby bottle. Hall and the woman have an 11-month-old child together.
According to the incident report, Hall threw the alleged victim's belongings outside, dragged her along the porch and driveway and later put a gun to her temple, saying "I will f— end it all." He later left the residence and did not return. When the police arrived, officers found damage in the home indicative of a fight, the report stated. Officers also found two handguns, a .40-caliber Glock and a 9mm Smith & Wesson.
Hall pleaded not guilty to a charge of domestic violence and was released on $10,000 bond. He is due back in court for a hearing on Sept. 10, according to the Akron Beacon Journal.
"We are aware of the incident involving Mike Hall, Jr. last night," a Browns spokesperson shared in a statement on Tuesday. "Mike and his representatives have been in touch with the appropriate authorities. We are in the process of gathering more information and will have no further comment at this time."
Hall was the Browns' second-round pick (No. 54 overall) in the 2024 NFL draft. The Cleveland native, who graduated from Streetsboro High School, had spent the previous three years at Ohio State.
As a member of the Buckeyes, Hall appeared in 28 games and recorded 45 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and six sacks. He earned third-team All-Big Ten honors after the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
