Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najeh Davenport, 29, is charged with three misdemeanors: domestic violence, child endangering and unlawful restraint, Cleveland police said in news release today.
Davenport, 29, of Pittsburgh, has been asked to turn himself in.
Police said he fought with Anita Person, 27, the mother of his 5-year-old son, Oct. 4 on East 115th Street in Cleveland, where Person and the child live.
Person called police at 8:45 p.m. and said in a shaky voice that Davenport had punched and choked her after she removed the child from his Range Rover. She said Davenport had threatened to not return the child to her. She said he said, "You're not gonna get him back."
Person, breathing heavily, told the dispatcher she did not need an ambulance. "I'm just a little scraped up. That's all," she said. Person made the call from a stranger's house after the altercation, which took place in the street in front of her home.
While she was on the phone, Davenport also called police, complaining that he was supposed to have his son for the weekend, but that Person had taken the boy away from him. He also complained that she hadn't packed clothes for the child.
Davenport said Person jumped over his younger son, who was in a safety seat in the front seat, to remove the 5-year-old while the truck was moving.
Another woman called police at 8:48 p.m. and reported seeing a woman being punched by a man. He was "punching all on her and she was screaming 'help,' " the caller said.
"No arrests were made as investigating officers were unable to determine a primary physical aggressor in the dispute," Lt. Thomas Stacho said the day after incident. "Statements were taken from all parties and photographs were taken to document injuries and the absence of injuries."
Chief Prosecutor Victor Perez reviewed the evidence and charged Davenport yesterday. The maximum sentence for the three charges is 14 months in jail.
