BALTIMORE (AP) \u2014 The Baltimore Ravens said Friday they are aware of Rashod Bateman’s arrest in June in Georgia over a domestic violence incident and have been in contact with their receiver.<\/p>\n
The Ravens have informed the NFL, and league spokesman Brian McCarthy says the case is under review.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe notified the league office and have been cooperating throughout the process,\u201d the team said in a statement. \u201cAs this is a pending legal matter, we will not have further comment.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to TMZ, Bateman was arrested after smashing a window of the vehicle being driven by the mother of his child, with the 3-month-old inside. TMZ cited court documents that said the victim told authorities the incident happened around 6 a.m. on June 6.<\/p>\n
According to the arrest warrant, Bateman used an object to smash the driver’s side window, and the shattered glass caused multiple small lacerations to the victim\u2019s face.<\/p>\n
Bateman’s representatives said the receiver turned himself in to the Walton County sheriff’s office the same day. A court later granted Bateman’s request to lift a no-contact order after he said the victim indicated she did want to have contact with him.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is unfortunate that a personal family situation has been taken completely out of context for sensational reasons,\u201d Bateman attorney Jordan Siev said in a statement to The Associated Press. \u201cWe will let the court process play out and the facts will come out at that time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Walton County authorities didn\u2019t immediately respond to a message from the AP.<\/p>\n
Last year, Bateman signed a $37 million, three-year contract extension coming off career bests of 756 yards and nine touchdowns receiving in 2024. The 26-year-old Georgia native who played in college at Minnesota dropped off to a career-low 224 yards with two TDs last season.<\/p>\n
