Veteran NFL wide receiver Kadarius Toney was arrested last week on allegations that he strangled a woman during a January dispute, according to multiple reports on Wednesday.

Toney, 26, was arrested and booked on Feb. 6 on counts of aggravated assault-strangulation and obstructing/harassing 911 calls, according to police records in Douglas County, Ga. His bond was set at $25,000 on each count, and he was not in custody on Feb. 7, according to county records.

Court documents viewed by media outlets said Toney squeezed the women’s neck “with enough force to cause her to be unable to breath, leave red marks on her neck and cause Petechial Hemorrhaging in her eyes” during a Jan. 14 incident in Douglasville, Ga.

Toney allegedly took her phone to keep her from calling authorities, TMZ reported.

Warrants were issued on Jan. 15.

Toney spent part of last season with the Cleveland Browns, who signed him on Sept. 9. He alternated between the practice squad and active roster. He had zero catches on one target as well as two rushing attempts for minus-4 yards in three games.

He was released on Dec. 10, two days after a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in which Toney was penalized 15 yards for taunting after a punt return and also muffed a punt.

Injuries and off-field issues have marred Toney’s career. The New York Giants selected him with the 20th overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Florida.

Toney has 82 career receptions for 760 yards and three touchdowns as well as 23 rushing attempts for 115 yards and one TD in 35 regular-season games (10 starts) for the Giants (2021-22), Kansas City Chiefs (2022-23) and Browns (2024).

He also has seven catches for 50 yards and one touchdown in three playoff games for the Super Bowl champion Chiefs in 2022. Kansas City released him on Aug. 27, 2024.
