AVON, Ohio - Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel, was pulled over by Avon police after police said a domestic argument got out of hand on Interstate 90 westbound earlier in the week.

Police said alcohol was involved. The argument took place between Manziel and his Texas Christian University girlfriend Colleen Elizabeth Crowley.

According to a four-page police report obtained exclusively by newsnet5.com, both were drinking but were not charged.

The incident started on I-90 westbound near the Nagle Road overpass on Monday at 6 p.m.

According to the report, a witness called police after seeing Manziel's white Nissan use the shoulder of the road to pass her at a high speed.

The witness told police the couple was arguing and Crowley attempted to exit the vehicle while they were on the road.

In the report, both Manziel and Crowley admitted they were having an argument and Crowley threw a wallet out of the window.

The report stated the couple then stopped the car in an Avon neighborhood and continued arguing. That's when a second witness called police.

Minutes later, police stopped Manziel's car on Nagle Road where he said both he and Crowley had been drinking in downtown Cleveland earlier that day.

In the report, Crowley told police Manziel pushed her head into a window. She wanted her cell phone because she was concerned about her safety and said she just wanted to return to Texas.

The report stated police did see an abrasion on Crowley's arm but later determined that the abrasion was from Manziel's attempt to keep her from getting out of the vehicle while it was on the road.

According to the report, police did not believe the couple was intoxicated to the point where they could be charged and Crowley told officers that she did not want to press charges so both were allowed to leave the scene in Manziel's car.

He needs to ditch this chick. She is a bad influence.

I agree. And we need to ditch him.

how he still has a job as GM is beyond me.

one question I'd have: what the heck is he doing drinking at 2pm on a Monday

Wow people are so quick to judge others with no knowledge of any/many facts.

No charges ... Unless there is more to this story (with verifiable facts) then this is a very minor blip on the radar IMO. Sure Farmer and the Browns need to say the right things .... but the young man is NOT going to go from Party Animal to Saint without a blip here or there.

Amazing as it sounds, some parts of the world having a glass of wine with lunch is considered civilized. And that's on a work day - heaven knows what they might get up to on a day off. Obviously Cleveland needs to keep that sort of subversive culture at bay.

What facts do you have? Be specific. Then tell me how big of a blip you think you have.

Now because its Johnny and he has a history - people want to assume the worst.

The facts I can see:

- A couple had an argument in public.
- Police were called.
- Police didn't charge anyone for driving under the influence - did not charge anyone for reckless driving or for domestic violence. So whatever fracas there was, was minor.

Now because its Johnny and he has a history - people want to assume the worst.

JMO

Police were called because a couple was arguing. Fact.

Manziel was drinking. Fact.

Manziel was driving recklessly. Fact.

I don't know how the rehab process works or what kind of treatment Manziel was getting, but this is definitely worth discussing. Manziel is our "QB of the future."

Yes - it probably is worth discussing as he's a very inflammatory member of the Browns .... but people want to judge and jump to conclusions and fill in the gaps with their assumptions and pass a verdict based on .... well based on nothing.

Your last fact is not a fact --- as I mentioned, no-one charged with anything and so there is no evidence of reckless driving.

As for the drinking vs Rehab .... what was Johnny in Rehab for??? We don't know. Is he supposed to be alcohol free? We don't know. Did he have ONE beer or glass of wine with lunch? We don't know. Did he have 3 or 4 beers or wines? We don't know, but if he was driving and there was ANY suspicion of that quantity of alcohol, then he would have been taken for a blood test or he would have taken a breathalyzer.

Speeding past cars on the shoulder, forcably keeping a woman in a vehicle she wants to exit and pushing her face into the vehicle's window, to say nothing of day drinking 3 months after getting out of substance abuse rehab is the worst.

Man I know I'm biased against this guy, but you must be related to him to try and blow this off as no big deal...

Women ain't worth it, Johnny.
