Miami Dolphins outside linebackers coach Ryan Crow was placed on administrative leave last week after he was arrested for alleged domestic violence, and some new details about the incident have surfaced.
Crow was arrested on Friday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The 37-year-old was charged with battery for touching or striking a victim in a domestic incident, according to jail records.
On Tuesday, TMZ obtained audio of the 911 call that led to police being dispatched to the apartment complex where the alleged incident took place. During the call, a woman can be heard telling a dispatcher that she witnessed a man and woman in an argument and that the man started “choking” the woman.
“There’s a domestic going on. A guy started, like, choking his girl outside, and then they went back inside upstairs to their floor and we heard him, like, slam her,” the 911 caller said. “So, it would be a domestic going on right now.
“He started choking her at around like 11:45, and then they went back upstairs and we can hear them, like, fighting.”
An incident report states that officers arrived at the scene just after midnight early Friday morning. Police learned that Crow had been involved in “a verbal argument about past relationships” with a woman. Crow was accused of intentionally shoving the woman when he became angry. The woman “claimed no injuries” and would not submit a sworn statement, according to the police report.
Police said there were multiple witnesses who said they saw Crow get physical with the woman, which led to Crow being arrested. He pleaded not guilty in court on Tuesday.
Crow joined Mike McDaniel’s coaching staff in Miami as an outside linebackers coach last year. He was previously a defensive assistant with the Tennessee Titans from 2018-2023. Crow also spent some time as an assistant in college at Ohio State, Purdue and Baldwin Wallace University.
Crow played linebacker in college at Bowling Green, where he was initially a walk-on and later earned a scholarship.
