Drug charge vs. Randle dropped, but ex seeks protection

Published

on

Authorities in Wichita, Kan., have dropped a drug charge against Dallas Cowboys running back Joseph Randle, and the mother of Randle’s son has filed a petition for protection from abuse.

Randle, 23, was cited for marijuana possession earlier this week after police were called to a Wichita hotel to investigate a domestic disturbance. Police dropped the drug charge Friday, leaving open the possibility of refiling it once they conclude their investigation.

The petition, filed by Dalia Jacobs in Sedgwick County Court in Wichita, Kan., alleges that Randle pointed a gun at her car, threatened to “blast the vehicle” and punched out one of the vehicle’s windows.

Jacobs said she and a friend had taken her son to the hotel so Randle could see him.

“The defendant became angry with me in the presence of our child,” Jacobs wrote in the petition, per the Wichita Eagle. “I told my friend to take our son out of the home. She got into the vehicle with my son in the passenger seat. The defendant walked to his vehicle and retrieved a handgun.

“He then proceeded to approach the vehicle and point the gun at my friend in the vehicle. He told me at this point that he was going to ‘blast the vehicle.’ My friend tried to cover up my child with her body. The defendant then smashed the window with his fist, causing glass to shatter across my friend and my child.”

Police were called to the scene and initially cited Randle with marijuana possession after finding one gram of the drug in his hotel room. They did not find a gun, which they said was taken from the scene by another person.

“We’re still actively investigating this incident,” police Lt. James Espinoza said. “We take domestic violence very serious. … This is not over.”
