Chilling 911 call details emerge as Cleveland Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins faces domestic violence charge

“I still have visible bruises and evidence on my body of the event.” Those chilling words were spoken by the girlfriend of Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins to a police dispatcher during a 911 call made on July 12 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The newly released audio paints a grim picture of pain and fear in the days following what authorities describe as a violent encounter. As the Browns’ second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft faces a misdemeanor battery charge over the alleged domestic violence incident, questions swirl about his future in the NFL, the team’s response, and the broader issue of player conduct in professional sports.

Police report and 911 audio allege Cleveland Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins punched girlfriend, leaving bruises and lasting painThe incident that led to Quinshon Judkins’ arrest reportedly took place in the early hours of July 8, 2025, in Broward County , Florida, but it wasn’t until July 12 that police took him into custody. According to the police report, it all began at Fort Lauderdale International Airport, where Judkins, 21 years old and fresh off his second-round draft selection, allegedly lost his temper after reading text exchanges between his girlfriend and her family members.

Police say Judkins confronted her, telling her, “Oh, wow, I can’t believe you” and “I’m so done with you,” before the situation escalated after they left the airport in a vehicle. The report alleges that while the woman tried to explain herself, Judkins “punched” her in the “mouth/chin area with a closed fist.” She later moved to the back seat of the car, but Judkins allegedly “turned around while he was driving and struck her additional times in the left arm and thigh.”

Their history added context for authorities: the couple had “resided together as if a family” from May through December 2024, separated in late 2024, and only rekindled their relationship in June 2025.

The most striking details come from the woman’s own words in the 911 call, recorded on July 12 at the Fort Lauderdale Police Department ’s temporary headquarters and released by TMZ. “I had a high-profile male that I was in a relationship with put his hands on me,” she told the dispatcher. “I still have visible bruises and evidence on my body of the event. … I am still in pain and I have a lot more of my story to tell.”

Judkins had his first court appearance on Sunday morning, following his Saturday arrest. When asked for comment on the allegations, the Cleveland Browns issued a brief statement saying they are “aware and gathering information” on the matter, leaving his standing with the team uncertain as the legal process unfolds.
