The Cincinnati Bengals season ended with no trip to the playoffs, and now, Jermaine Burton has gotten the offseason off to a terrible start.
The Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver is being accused of assaulting a woman he was dating, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Fortunately for him, the unnamed woman refused to press charges against him.
The incident reportedly took place on Dec. 30, two days after the Bengals took on the Denver Broncos at Paycor Stadium. It also occurred between then and the team’s travel to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers in their final game of the regular season.
Jermaine Burton didn’t travel with the team.
The reports state that the 19-year-old woman called the police around 8:45 a.m. and informed them that the wideout chased her inside her apartment, damaged her phone, assaulted her, and even held a knife to his neck and threatened to take his own life.
“Jermaine Burton on the Bengals just broke into my house. He broke my phone,” the woman told a dispatcher.” He’s been like pretty abusive. He does a lot of things that I don’t tolerate.”
Initially, she wanted to press charges, but quickly changed her mind.
Jermaine Burton is also reportedly being evicted, according to a court filing from Dec. 23.
Burton ended his rookie campaign with four catches for 107 yards in 14 games.

Our heart goes out to everyone affected by the Pacific Palisades, especially to Steve Kerr and his family. The Golden State Warriors head coach received devastating news about his childhood home. This news came amid the ongoing wildfires ravaging the Los Angeles area. Kerr discovered that the Palisades fire tragically burned his family residence.
According to a text message shared by his mother, Ann, with close friends and family, the loss of the home has added to the emotional toll of the already dire situation. Mandatory orders forced Ann Kerr to evacuate, but she is currently safe with family and friends.
Kerr spent a significant part of his youth in Pacific Palisades. Before embarking on a 15-season NBA career, he thrived in the community. He also excelled on the basketball court at nearby Palisades High School. Along with Kerr, Kawhi Leonard, and Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick, they are also dealing with the repercussions of this natural disaster.
In light of the ongoing disaster, NBA spokesman Mike Bass confirmed that discussions are ongoing between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Charlotte Hornets regarding potential adjustments to their schedule. The two teams are scheduled to meet on Thursday evening, as Shams Charania of ESPN reported. Additionally, Lakers superstar LeBron James was one of several individuals who shared messages of support on social media for those impacted by the fires.
