A shocking report was released today that the ex-girlfriend of Johnny Manziel, Colleen Crowley told police that the Heisman Trophy winner told her “shut up or I’ll kill us both” after forcing her into a car, hitting her, and dragging her by the hair. What’s even more shocking or probably not, is that the Dallas police will not charge Manziel for the incident (a second time).
Here’s what allegedly happened according to Crowley via WFAA:
Crowley met Manziel in his room at Hotel ZaZa in Uptown Dallas.
Sources say while in his hotel room, the two of them argued over another girl. Crowley told police she tried to leave the room, but that Manziel wouldn’t let her.
Crowley told police Manziel “restrained” in some manner and “led” her down a back stairway to the valet area.
Sources say Manziel then drove her about a half-mile to her car, which was parked near the Concrete Cowboy bar off Cedar Springs Road. She claims she jumped out of the car and tried to hide from Manziel, but he found her in some nearby bushes.
“He grabbed me by my hair and threw me back into the car and got back in himself,” she reportedly told police. “He hit me with his open hand on my left ear for jumping out of the car. I realized immediately that I could not hear out of that ear, and I still cannot today, two days later.”
Crowley then reportedly hit Manziel several times, hoping to get out of the car, but, she told police, Manziel “threw me off of him” and she hit her head on the car window. She told police he would not give her her phone.
Sources say Manziel then got on Interstate 30 and began driving to her apartment in Fort Worth. While en route, she claims, she yelled at him, “I hate you!” He allegedly replied that “he was going to drop me off, take my car and go kill himself,” sources said.
She says she thought he was on drugs or maybe having a psychotic break. She told police she then began telling him she loved him.
She says at that time Manziel “started laughing” and then reportedly yelled at her to “shut up or I’ll kill us both.”
She says they finally made it to her Fort Worth apartment where the argument continued.Crowley claims Manziel became angry, and smashed her phone. He then went outside and started “pacing,” she told police. While she was alone, she tried to use her computer to contact her parents through Apple’s FaceTime video chat system.
She said Manziel came back into the apartment, checked her computer, and realized she had tried to contact her parents.
“I was in my kitchen, so out of fear for my life, I pulled a knife out of my knife block and advanced toward him,” Crowley told police.
“He ran out of the apartment,” she said. When she saw him in the parking lot, she said she banged on a neighbor’s door and screamed for help. Manziel fled on foot, she told police.
Here’s the Dallas Police Department statement via Adam Schefter:

Worth Police Department regarding an alleged incident involving Johnny Manziel.
