The hits just keep on coming for the sad life of disgraced former quarterback Johnny Manziel.
His personal drama continues to unfold like a third rate soap opera, as the former golden boy turned poster child of self destruction, faces up to a year in prison after being indicted by a grand jury in Texas for alleged domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend.
Manziel, the 2012 Heisman trophy winner and former first round draft pick, faces charges of misdemeanor assault. Manziel is further accused of kidnapping, hitting and threatening to kill his former lover, Colleen Crowley, earlier this year.
The Dallas Police Department referred Manziel’s Class A misdemeanor domestic violence assault case to a grand jury instead of making an arrest after the allegations.
According to the alleged victim, Crowley and Manziel broke up in December after two years of dating and formerly living together while Manziel played in Cleveland.
Crowley claims she saw Manziel the night of the alleged attack in January, when he invited her to his hotel room to talk out their issues.
Crowley told police that Manziel then struck her several times during an argument in the car after leaving a bar in Dallas. Crowley even claimed to have feared for her life.
Crowley, also 23, told police that Manziel hit her in the head and ruptured her left eardrum, causing her to lose her hearing.
She said Manziel roughed her up with his fists, dragged her by the hair, forced her into a car, and drove her to Fort Worth, where she lives.
Dallas cops opened up an investigation on Feb. 5, a day after Crowley alleged to have been assaulted.
Investigators interviewed witnesses at the hotel and reviewed hotel video in hopes of finding sufficient evidence.
If found guilty Johnny Manziel’s hope of an NFL comeback are almost certainly over, though he may find himself running for his life in the shower much like he did while playing in Cleveland…
