New England Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore is facing serious domestic assault charges after an August dispute with a woman escalated dramatically. The trouble reportedly began with an argument over the air conditioning in their bedroom, which quickly spiraled into accusations of violence. According to police reports, the woman claimed that Barmore physically restrained her and threw her to the ground during the heated exchange.
The incident took place on August 8, but it wasn’t reported to authorities until the end of August, as the woman expressed fear over Barmore’s wealth and influence. After mulling over the situation, she finally decided to come forward with the allegations on September 9. The Patriots acknowledged the situation and stated they informed the NFL, indicating they’re cooperating fully as the legal process unfolds. Who knew the temperature of a room could become such a hot-button issue?
