NEWS REPORT: Cow Boys player Josh Butler was arrested because of…

The Dallas Cowboys can’t say no to adding players with spotty off-field histories.

The latest player with a troubling past is offensive lineman Josh Ball, a fourth-round pick. Ball started his college career as a highly-recruited player and a starter for Florida State in 2017. In 2018 he was suspended by Florida State after an accusation of multiple violent acts against his girlfriend.

In 2018, a sworn petition by Ball’s ex-girlfriend claimed Ball is a “violent person” and detailed 11 incidents of violence against her and others throughout their 18-month relationship. He was accused of slapping her, and in another incident, accused of throwing her to the floor. In another incident, Ball was accused of grabbing and shoving her. Ball’s ex-girlfriend sought a protective order and a joint resolution ordering Ball to stay away from her Tallahassee residence and other places she frequents. Ball was not charged with any crimes.

Ball continued his college career at Marshall after a stop at Butler Community College (Kansas), the Cowboys picked him Saturday, and he didn’t want to talk about the accusations when he spoke to the media.
