Football bro Johnny Manziel has a new mugshot. The former Cleveland Browns backup quarterback turned himself into Texas police and posted $1,500 bond on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge.
What’s bad is the smirk and the crass Tweet sent out by the Heisman Trophy winner in the process.
The shot you can see above.
And then came this tweet, quickly deleted, yet one the Dallas Morning News got a screen capture of:
What’s even worse? The reason Manziel had to turn himself in.
Manziel, 23, was indicted last month on a charge of misdemeanor assault.
Former girlfriend Colleen Crowley has accused him of kidnapping, hitting and threatening to kill her on Jan. 29 at Hotel ZaZa in Uptown during a fight over another woman. The pair had broken up in December after dating for two years.
Crowley, 23, told police that Manziel had invited her to his hotel room to talk that night and that he slapped her on the head, rupturing her eardrum and causing her to lose her hearing.
She said he then dragged her by the hair and forced her into a car, which he drove to Fort Worth, where she lives.
Manziel was also arrested in 2012 while at Texas A&M for a fake ID and fighting. He spent the night in jail and was released the following day. As you can see, he was shirtless.
I stopped trying to keep track of Manziel’s issues a long time ago. It’s obvious that unless he makes some drastic changes he’ll never make it — forget football, I’m talking about life.
