Browns linebacker Devin Bush arrested on ᴀssault charge after incident with girlfriend

Former Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, top-10 NFL draft pick and current Cleveland Browns linebacker Devin Bush was arrested Sunday on two separate charges after allegedly smashing his girlfriend’s cell phone during a dispute.

According to TMZ, court records show that Bush was arrested in Allegheny County, Pa., on charges of simple ᴀssault and harᴀssment. 

Bush’s girlfriend reportedly told cops she began filming Bush during an argument and “aggressively” tried to take her phone when he noticed she was recording him.

She alleged that Bush got the phone “and smashed it so that she could not call for help,” cops said, per TMZ.

When police officers noticed a wrist abrasion and a mark on the woman’s foot, she told them that happened “from the struggle with Bush trying to take her phone,” TMZ reported.

Bush denied getting physical but admitted to smashing her phone.

The records show that Bush is due to appear in court for a preliminary case hearing on May 20. Further details of the allegations made against him are currently unavailable.

According to multiple outlets, the Browns are aware of Bush’s arrest and are gathering more information regarding what the alleged incident that got him arrested entailed.

The 26-year-old was a standout linebacker in his collegiate career at Michigan, which led to the Pittsburgh Steelers trading up in the 2019 NFL Draft to select him 10th overall.

He spent three seasons with the Wolverines under now-Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh. Bush broke out in his sophomore season as he recorded more than 100 tackles and was the leader of Michigan’s defense. 

In his junior year, he continued his stellar play. He was recognized with All American honors and the 2018 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year award before declaring for the draft.

Bush spent four seasons with the Steelers, placing third in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting after starting 15 games and tallying 109 total tackles, two interceptions, four fumble recoveries, nine tackles for loss and a scoop-and-score touchdown.

In his second season, he tore his ACL after appearing in five games. The undersized linebacker who relied so heavily on his speed and athleticism has since not looked the same after his solid rookie season.

He joined the Seahawks after his four-year stint in Pittsburgh and started in just three games before heading to Cleveland for this past season where he started in 10 games and had 76 total tackles.
