Broncos outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper and his girlfriend were each arrested late Thursday night on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic violence and misdemeanor criminal mischief.<\/p>\n

Cooper, 28, was arrested by Parker police at 11:16 p.m. and booked into Douglas County Jail at 2:38 a.m., according to jail records. Cooper\u2019s attorney, Harvey Steinberg, told The Post that Cooper has obtained a personal recognizance bond, which enabled his release from custody without paying immediate bail.<\/p>\n

Cooper appeared Friday morning in the 23rd Judicial District Court for a first appearance. He is due back in that court Monday morning for a disposition hearing. Bail information for Cooper\u2019s girlfriend \u2014 who The Post is declining to name \u2014 is not currently available.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are aware of the matter and are gathering more information,\u201d the Broncos said in a statement provided to The Post.<\/p>\n

According to the arrest affidavit, a peace officer with the Parker Police Department responded to a \u201cdomestic incident\u201d between Cooper and his girlfriend in Parker at 8:42 p.m. Thursday. Cooper\u2019s girlfriend confronted Cooper with allegations he was cheating on her, the affidavit reads.<\/p>\n

Cooper\u2019s girlfriend said she took his phone from him, threw it across the room, then went to pick it up and look through its contents.<\/p>\n

Cooper wanted his phone back and, according to the affidavit, Cooper told police he grabbed his girlfriend by her upper arms and was able to get the phone back.<\/p>\n

After the woman again tried to take his phone, Cooper told police he \u201cbraced his neck against her neck\u201d to prevent her from getting it, the affidavit reads. After eventually retrieving his phone, Cooper told his girlfriend that he would break her phone if she didn\u2019t leave his apartment, he told police.<\/p>\n

When Cooper\u2019s girlfriend still did not leave, the Broncos outside linebacker bit her phone, causing \u201cdisabling damage,\u201d the affidavit reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs of this report, there is no probable cause for harassment or assault charges given conflicting statements and lack of specific physical evidence,\u201d the Parker peace officer wrote in the report.<\/p>\n

Just hours earlier, the five-year NFL veteran was in a helmet and gear for the Broncos\u2019 third practice of OTAs Thursday, although he didn\u2019t participate in any 11-on-11 team drills.<\/p>\n

Cooper was drafted by the Broncos in the seventh round of the 2021 draft and has become one of the team\u2019s core players. He signed a four-year contract extension worth $54 million in November of 2024, recording a career-best 10.5 sacks that season and eight sacks in 2025.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still young in this league,\u201d Cooper told reporters in late January, two days after the Broncos\u2019 season ended with an AFC Championship loss to the Patriots. \u201cAnd I still have a lot of opportunity to grow, and become an even better player. And that\u2019s the whole focus in the offseason.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of Friday afternoon, Cooper has only been officially charged with a Class 2 misdemeanor for criminal mischief. His attorney, Steinberg, is well-known in Colorado for high-profile defense work, including representing former Broncos receiver Jerry Jeudy in a 2022 criminal case.<\/p>\n
