(B/R) - Austin York of CBS Radio reported Manziel has been indicted for a misdemeanor assault charge.

In February, Rebecca Lopez of WFAA News 8 reported on Crowley’s statements to the police after the reported incident, which included Manziel allegedly striking her and stating, “Shut up or I’ll kill us both.” Crowley reportedly believed the NFL star was potentially on drugs or having a psychotic breakdown during the ordeal.

Manziel denied those allegations to TMZ Sports. A short time later,Tom Withers of the Associated Press reported both police departments involved in the investigation—Fort Worth and Dallas—opted against filing assault charges.

One day after closing the initial case, the Dallas Police Departmentreceived a formal complaint of domestic violence regarding the incident, and it began a criminal investigation.

As the situation played out, the quarterback’s father, Paul, told Kate Hairopoulos of the Dallas Morning News that he feared for his 23-year-old son’s future after he twice declined to enter rehabilitation facilities.

“I truly believe if they can’t get him help, he won’t live to see his 24th birthday,” he said.

In late February, Eric Prisbell of USA Today noted that the Class A misdemeanor assault case had been sent to a Dallas County grand jury.

The Browns officially waived Manziel shortly after the new league year began on March 9, following a long list of off-field concerns.
