MINNEAPOLIS -- Three days after being arrested on probable cause in connection with domestic violence incident, wide receiver Cayleb Jones was released by the Minnesota Vikings during the first wave of roster cuts on Friday.
Jones appeared in court on Thursday where he was formally charged with felony-level theft, misdemeanor domestic assault and a gross misdemeanor for interfering with a 911 call.
Dakota County court documents state that an emergency call was placed at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday by a woman "who advised that her boyfriend had put his hands on her." During a verbal altercation that became physical, a woman told police that Jones picked her up and threw her down and kicked her as she tried to leave with her belongings.
