The girlfriend then said that A.J. returned to their home and yelled at her about ignoring his text messages which was when the alleged violence began.

A.J.’s girlfriend claims that  A.J.

“Grabbed my neck and I could not breath. He then “picked me up by the neck and threw me off the bed and onto the floor.”

Police say she went to a police station after the incident with red marks on both sides of her neck which was why officials decided to charge Jefferson with a crime.

A.J. was arrested that night and was summarily cut by the Vikings the very next day. He was being held on $40,000 bail and if  he is convicted on these charges he faces up to 3 years in prison.
