Gladney was accused of assaulting a 22-year-old woman on April 2, 2021. According to the Minnesota Star-Tribune, the 25-year-old allegedly struck the woman several times “in the side of her ribs, in the stomach and the back,” before hitting her across the head. Gladney also allegedly strangled the woman for nearly five seconds.
He had previously been charged with third-degree felony family violence assault.
