Girlfriend Assault Lawsuit Amid Death From Accident
Jeff Gladney was arrested in Dallas in April 2021 on suspicion of abusing a previous girlfriend.
After reportedly “intentionally, knowingly, and recklessly” causing bodily injury and placing pressure on the woman’s neck and throat.
He was charged with domestic violence by obstructing breathing.
After being accused of assault in April, the former girlfriend of Minnesota Vikings cornerback Jeff Gladney filed a civil lawsuit seeking at least $1 million in damages.
However, the Dallas court acquitted Jeff of all the charges in March 2022, just two months before his death. He might have been sentenced to up to ten years in jail if convicted.
The Vikings dismissed Gladney in August after he was indicted. Gladney, a first-round draft pick out of TCU in 2020, started 15 games as a rookie for the Vikings.
