Colorado authorities arrested Denver Broncos pass rusher Jonathon Cooper on Thursday night, June 11, 2026, his second arrest in a week, on charges of harassment and violation of a protection order. The order had been issued following his June 4 arrest in Parker, Colorado, arising from an alleged domestic dispute involving his girlfriend and including a felony count of second-degree assault by strangulation. An arrest affidavit states Cooper sent multiple messages, made two calls, and went to her apartment despite a no-contact mandate. The NFL is reviewing the case under its personal conduct policy, and the Broncos and league say disciplinary action is possible.
