A newly surfaced police report fills in a few more details about San Francisco 49ers star linebacker Reuben Foster’s domestic-violence arrest in February, including the allegation that he threw his then-girlfriend’s dog across a room during a related argument.
The police account, first reported by The Sacramento Bee, generally affirms what had been previously reported and charged by authorities, and was written before Foster’s accuser, Elissa Ennis, recanted the allegations that Foster was the cause of severe head injuries reported the morning of Feb. 11 at their home in Los Gatos.
Despite Ennis’ retraction — and a purported video her attorney contends absolves Foster — the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office is proceeding with felony charges of domestic violence, forcefully attempting to dissuade a witness, and possession of an assault weapon.
