Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper was arrested Thursday night about a week after facing separate charges of domestic violence.  

The Parker Police Department arrested Cooper at 6:17 p.m. on a charge of domestic violence and he was booked at the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office detention facility, according to jail records. He also faces misdemeanor charges of harassment and violation of a protection order.

“We are disappointed to learn of Jonathon Cooper’s arrest on Thursday and continue to review this matter,” the Broncos said in a statement to The Denver Gazette.

Cooper was also charged Wednesday with felony assault after a new affidavit said he choked his ex-girlfriend and pinned her against a wall during a June 4 incident that resulted in both Cooper and his girlfriend being arrested.

In that case, Cooper and his girlfriend allegedly got into a physical struggle over cheating allegations that ended with Cooper being accused of breaking her phone. Both faced misdemeanor charges of criminal mischief and domestic violence.

While the initial arrest affidavit did not detail any physical assault by Cooper against his now ex-girlfriend, an affidavit filed Wednesday said Cooper choked her and slammed her against a wall. The affidavit said Cooper pinned her against the wall for at least a minute while screaming at her.

Cooper’s girlfriend told police she struggled to breathe during the incident. Responding officers also observed scratch marks on her. The officer suggested she get an exam from a forensic nurse, which she accepted. The exam revealed she suffered a serious injury as a result of the strangling, including hypoxia and a traumatic brain injury.

The new charge led to a warrant for Cooper’s arrest being issued, which was active at the time of his arrest Thursday.

According to Cooper’s latest arrest affidavit, his now ex-girlfriend called the police at about 4:20 p.m. Thursday to report that Cooper was harassing her in violation of a restraining order.

She told police Cooper showed up at her apartment and knocked repeatedly on the door for about 10 minutes and had also texted and called her throughout the day, sending about 20 Snapchat messages, the affidavit said.

Both Cooper and his ex-girlfriend have competing protection orders issued after their arrests last week, according to the affidavit. A protection order prevents Cooper from contacting her.

Cooper, a seventh-round pick by Denver in 2021 out of Ohio State, is entering his sixth season with the Broncos. He was a part-time starter his first two seasons before becoming a regular starter in 2023.

Over the past three seasons, Cooper has 27 sacks and has played a key role on one of the NFL’s best defenses. He received a four-year, $54 million contract extension in November 2024, taking him through the 2028 season. He has a salary-cap number this season of $5.78 million.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton said on Thursday that the team is monitoring Cooper’s legal situation. He said the team had a “long visit” with Cooper after his arrest.

The NFL confirmed it is in contact with the Broncos regarding Cooper’s initial arrest.

He could face a baseline suspension of up to six games, according to the league’s personal conduct policy, with a higher or lower range based on severity of conduct.
