She continued and named a possible suspect and person close to them. 2 NEWS is choosing not to name either until official confirmation from law enforcement. 'I haven't slept, I can't close my eyes,' wrote Rowland-Creachbaum. 'I see my baby boy, then [Person A and Person B's] faces pop up, so I can't close my eyes.'

'Cut Him' - NFL Rookie Second-Round Pick Arrested On Scary Charges
'Cut Him' - NFL Rookie Second-Round Pick Arrested On Scary Charges originally appeared on The Spun. Things appear to be going off the rails for one NFL player who hasn't even signed his rookie contract yet. Advertisement An arrest report available online shows that Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins was arrested in Broward County, Florida. The charges are listed as "TOUCH OR STRIKE/BATTERY/DOMESTIC VIOL(ENCE)." The date of birth and mugshot are a match for the former Ohio State Buckeyes running back, leaving little room for doubt. Given that the charges appear to include some form of domestic violence, Judkins' NFL career could be in jeopardy before it even begins. As you might expect, NFL fans were extremely disappointed to see Judkins get involved in something like this. Some decided to have a joke at the Browns' expense. Advertisement "Couldn't even wait til his rookie contract was signed," one user lamented. "Cut him before preseason starts if the allegations are true," another demanded. "If found guilty he should lose the right to play in the NFL for the rest of his life!" a third said. "Buddy should have focused more on the game instead of engaging in violence outside the game." "Ruining your career before it even gets started."

(Photo by)It certainly doesn't help that Judkins hasn't even signed his rookie contract with the Browns yet. Judkins and many other second-round draft picks are currently in disputes with their teams over the amount of money guaranteed by the contract. Advertisement Regardless of how quickly Judkins can get this issue behind him, the arrest itself is likely to eviscerate his leverage in any contract talks. And that's assuming that the Browns don't decide that he isn't worth a contract at all. Whether or not he signs with the Browns next week or next month, he's going to be subject to discipline from the league. Judkins could be facing up to a six-game for his actions. The Browns took Judkins No. 36 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft following three standout college seasons at Ole Miss and Ohio State. He was a two-time All-SEC running back for the Rebels and won numerous accolades under Lane Kiffin while setting school records as a true freshman. Advertisement At Ohio State, he worked in tandem with TreVeyon Henderson to give the Buckeyes one of the nation's most formidable backfields en route to winning a national title.
