Despite allegations that he struck his ex-girlfriend, the troubled quarterback Johnny Manziel has not been charged with a crime and two Texas police departments have closed their cases on a possible assault.
Manziel, who will almost certainly be released by the Cleveland Browns next month, ending two turbulent N.F.L. seasons with the team, was being investigated for reportedly striking Colleen Crowley last weekend. She told the police in Fort Worth that Manziel struck her “several times” and that Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, acted “as if he were on some kind of drugs,” but she maintained he was not intoxicated.
