Cleveland Browns star has been arrested for domestic violence
The Browns have confirmed that they are aware of the event and are in contact with the player.
Mike Hall Jr., a defensive tackle with the Cleveland Browns, was detained early this morning. The City of Avon Police Department verified that the rookie is in custody on domestic abuse allegations.
Rumors about Hall’s impending arrest surfaced Monday night. It wasn’t until this morning that authorities confirmed that the player is being booked and would be arraigned. They have not offered any other information regarding the case at this time.
A Browns spokeswoman said the team is “aware of the incident involving Mike Hall, Jr. last night.” They explained, “Mike and his representatives have communicated with the appropriate authorities. We are seeking additional information and will not have any further comment at this time.

Who is Hall Jr.?
Mike Hall Jr. was selected 54th overall in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Browns. He spent three years with the Ohio State Buckeyes before making the move to the pros. He was named to the All-Big Ten Third Team for the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
Before the draft, scouts praised Hall, stating he is “quick off the ball and agile, which, combined with efficient footwork, makes him dangerous when slanting.”
They did, however, say that his size was a problem. “A bit of a tweener body type; too big for a defensive end, too small for a defensive tackle.”
