Report: Johnny Manziel pulled over during domestic argument, admits to drinking
This story has been updated to include a series of tweets sent by Johnny Manziel in response to the situation.
Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel was pulled over by police in Avon, Ohio, after police said a domestic argument got out of control on Interstate 90 earlier in the week.
The argument took place between Manziel — the 2012 Heisman winner from Texas A&M — and his Texas Christian University girlfriend Colleen Elizabeth Crowley, and both parties admitted to drinking.
According to a four-page police report obtained exclusively by newsnet5.com, police did not believe the couple was intoxicated to the point where they could be charged, and they were not. Crowley told officers that she did not want to press charges so both were allowed to leave the scene in Manziel’s car.
During the argument, the witness told police the couple was arguing and Crowley attempted to exit the vehicle while they were on the road.
In the report, both Manziel and Crowley corroborated the witness claim that they were having an argument, and Crowley threw a wallet out of the window. Later during the dispute, Crowley told police Manziel pushed her head into a window. She wanted her cell phone because she was concerned about her safety.

I know I would stop and check if I saw a couple arguing on the side of the road. It was embarrassing but not serious…
