Oyefusi noted that Fort Lauderdale Police Sgt. David Soika told ESPN that Judkins' charge is a misdemeanor.
Chief NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league is aware of the the Judkins arrest but declined to comment further, via Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. The Browns also said they are 'aware and gathering more details.'
Judkins was in jail as of Saturday night with no bond posted. He had an initial court appearance scheduled for Sunday morning.
Judkins was a second-round pick by the Browns in the 2025 NFL Draft out of Ohio State at No. 37 overall. He is the lone member of the Browns' seven-player draft who has not signed his rookie contract.

Even though he has yet to sign a contract with the Browns, he is still susceptible to potential discipline by the league, under the Personal Conduct Policy, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and general manager Omar Khan met with Judkins at the Ohio State pro day.
Judkins showed out at the NFL Combine, posting a blazing-fast 4.48 time in the 40-yard dash. According to Kent Lee Platte, Judkins scored an unofficial 9.88 Relative Athletic Score out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 23 out of 1909 RB from 1987 to 2025.
The 21-year-old played a large part in Ohio State's national championship run while rushing for 1,060 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Blake Lively Calls Out Justin Baldoni For Turning Her Deposition into ‘Public Spectacle' — Report
The upcoming deposition of Blake Lively in her legal battle with Justin Baldoni is drawing increased attention. As the July 17 date approaches, her legal team is pushing back against what they describe as attempts to turn the proceedings into a media circus. Their latest filing targets comments from Baldoni's attorney about staging the deposition at Madison Square Garden. Here's what Blake Lively's lawyers argued, how Justin Baldoni's team responded, and why the court's decision could set the tone for the high-profile trial ahead. Blake Lively will give her deposition on Thursday, July 17, as part of ongoing legal proceedings with Justin Baldoni. On Friday, July 11, her legal team filed a motion asking the court to issue a protective order that relocates the deposition to a private location and requires advance identification of all attendees. The motion comes in response to earlier comments from Baldoni's attorney, Bryan Freedman, who in May proposed holding the deposition at Madison Square Garden. Freedman told People, 'Hold the deposition at MSG, sell tickets or stream it, and donate every dollar to organizations helping victims of domestic abuse.' Lively's representatives issued a statement on July 11, saying, 'Ms. Lively is looking forward to her deposition next week, and it should follow the same rules as every other witness in this case.' They added, 'Justin Baldoni's lawyer has tried to make this matter a public spectacle at every turn, even proposing to sell tickets to a televised deposition at Madison Square Garden.' According to court documents, Lively's team claims that Baldoni's lawyers 'appear to seek another public relations moment' and the 'intent is to manufacture a harassing publicity stunt' by making her walk through paparazzi or involving media and social influencers. They argue this 'demonstrates a substantial risk of the deposition turning into a publicity event.' Baldoni's legal team has not denied these allegations, according to Lively's filing. They also allege the defendants have refused to address concerns about harassment and intimidation. The filing adds, 'Defendants have used even the prospect of Ms. Lively's deposition to generate press interest.' The court previously dismissed Baldoni's counterclaims of extortion and defamation against Lively and Ryan Reynolds in June. The trial is scheduled for March 2026 in New York.

‘A completely avoidable situation' – PSG head coach Luis Enrique lifts lid on altercation with Chelsea striker João Pedro
PSG head coach Luis Enrique lost his temper in the aftermath of Les Parisiens' chastening 3-0 defeat against Chelsea in Sunday's Club World Cup final. The Champions League 1 winners were one game away from a historic quintuple, but they fell at the final hurdle as Cole Palmer and João Pedro ran riot in New Jersey. 'Chelsea started the match brightly with very high pressure', the Spaniard said. 'They put us in difficulty. We had chances to score, but we didn't. Overall, they deserved their victory.' Tensions then reached a boiling point after the final whistle as several PSG and Chelsea players came to blows. A visibly angry Luis Enrique pushed Chelsea striker João Pedro, who fell to the ground. The PSG head coach justifies his actions by saying he was trying to separate players and prevent tension from rising. 'It was a completely avoidable situation for everyone. Different people were involved in this. We had to avoid problems. I wanted to prevent it from escalating.' Advertisement GFFN | Bastien Cheval

I'm getting married this week. I asked the busiest people I know (coaches) for advice
Several years into the beginning of Keith Guttin's legendary career as Missouri State's baseball coach, he got married. Before they said their vows, his wife, Marianne, saw the dedication and hours Guttin had to put into the program to make it great. A life of weekend road trips, mid-week games, and practices in between was Guttin's passion. Guttin's wife knew what she was signing up for when she married him early in a career that lasted 42 years. "That's a rebuttle or response that I've never used," Guttin said. Note taken. After just over a year of attempting to avoid wedding planning, I'm getting married to my best friend this week. Some of you listened to the origin story of how I met my soon-to-be wife, Abbey Linton, when she first became the producer of Sports Talk, the longtime afternoon radio show hosted by Art Hains, who, for whatever reason, added me as a co-host in its final years. We still laugh about that one caller who called in, early upon Abbey's hiring, to inform her that we would one day get married. In this rare occurrence, a sports radio caller was spot on. Our first "date" came after a radio show in which she got a contact stuck on the opposite side of her eyeball. I took her to urgent care, where we sat for hours, enjoying each other's company, only for us to get up and leave before her name was called. Two days later, I was leaving a Willard Basketball Tournament game and received a phone call from her, only for her to say that she sliced part of her finger off with a vegetable peeler. Our second "date" was in a CoxHealth emergency room, where we continued to laugh until the early hours of the morning. We've been inseparable ever since and, knock on wood, have yet to return to the ER. But as with all relationships, there are challenges. Much like a coach, those tests often arise due to the sacrifices that come with a busy schedule. Over the last 2.5 years of us dating, Abbey has adjusted to my many nights covering sporting events or needing to pull a Chinese fire drill at a busy stoplight so I can write the latest recruiting story. She would've preferred for me to come on her family's vacation to the Virgin Islands instead of electing to stay behind and cover the final days of Guttin's career. She would also prefer to celebrate my birthday at home or at some restaurant instead of me covering the Blue and Gold Tournament. She's already on me to go to Disney World with her to watch her sister dance in a national competition, but I already know that's likely the week of the Bass Pro Tournament of Champions. I asked Guttin and a few other coaches about how they've made their marriages work, knowing their schedules were far busier than mine. As Nixa football coach John Perry said, the "D word" is not an option. This next beautiful chapter in my life is going to take effort, and Guttin noted that it should also include plenty of happiness and laughter along the way. "There has to be give-and-take, communication, trust, laughs, and you can't take yourself too seriously," Guttin said. "You're just looking for fun, and there are a ton of other things. You have to have a connection, there has to be trust, and maybe the most important thing is that you have to be yourself. If your partner wants to change you, it's not gonna work. Whatever you are, they love you for that." Abbey would argue that, at times, I can be a little too much of myself, but she knows I'd say the same about her. Barry Hinson, the former Missouri State basketball coach, recalled a quote from the 1998 film "Meet Joe Black," starring Brad Pitt. Hinson will celebrate his 44th anniversary next month with his wife, who everyone knows would shot fake at least once if she got the ball under the basket. In his eyes, the quote encapsulates love and the "key" to marriage. Pitt asks Jeffrey Tambor's character about how he knows that his wife loves him. Tambor replies: "Because she knows the worst thing about me and it's OK." We certainly have our demons, yet we love and support each other anyway. Hinson wasn't done sharing advice in a way that only he could. "There's going to be a moment when you first get married that you really believe in your heart that you are in charge," Hinson said. "Your wife will play possum. I wanna put this in Ozarks terms for people to understand, but the wife plays possum, and you really think that you're in control. Then just one day, you're going to wake up and she ain't playing possum anymore and she's in charge. You don't know when, and you can't pinpoint it. There won't be a time, a date or a moment. You're just going to wake up and realize that you have lost complete and total control of this house. "Any man that tells you that he runs the house... that boy is living in the Wizard of Oz." Like Guttin, Hinson was sure to stress that Abbey will always be right. I know that sentence will be her favorite of this entire piece. Perry, Nixa's football coach, wasn't short on his trademark Perry-isms, either. He said to be sure to buy toothpaste where the lid is attached to the tube, instead of purchasing ones with the screw on the top. Perry said there's no sense in arguing whether the toilet paper should go over or under, even though it clearly goes over, to which Abbey somehow believes that it doesn't matter. Love your in-laws, which I already do, because they're not going anywhere. "You also have to date your wife for the rest of your life," Perry said. When Perry coached football in Mississippi, he and his wife, who will celebrate their 30th anniversary on Tuesday, made routine trips to New Orleans to get away. Because of Nixa's success, the Eagles often don't have to play during the first week of districts, allowing him and his wife to ditch town to spend a weekend in Kansas City or elsewhere. During the season, a routine date night at a Mexican restaurant is a must. Sometimes, he makes sure to bring her on the road and has her on the sidelines. "You have to make sure the quality is greater than the quantity, because the quantity is going to be iffy at times," Perry said. "It's the same thing when you have kids. You may not have a whole lot of time with your kids, but when you're with your kids, be with your kids. Put the phone down, and show that you're all in." It may be difficult for some to believe, but I have become better about being off my phone and not constantly looking at X every single second of every single day, as I used to. We love our Mexican nights at Cesar's Old Mexico or Señor Julian. We have AMC passes, which allow us to see all the newest movies. Nights on the couch watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine or Better Call Saul are just as good. We love our time with our families, and our vacations to Chicago, Dallas, and the beach are among our favorite memories. I don't ever want those to slow down. A new chapter of my life will begin this week, and I'm excited for the years of laughs to follow. Changes are coming, and there's no one else I'd rather face them with. I just hope that my column about becoming a father won't come along for at least a few more years. I may have to keep Guttin, Perry, and Hinson on speed dial for when that day comes.
