A lot is going on with the New England Patriots right now.
The New England Patriots have released statement following the viral Christian Barmore news.
Barmore is facing a misdemeanor charge of assault and battery on a household/family member, according to court documents.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Patriots said they "were made aware at the time of the incident and informed the NFL in a timely manner."
"The matter remains part of an ongoing legal process," the Patriots said. "We will respect that process, continue to monitor the situation closely, as we have over the past few months, and cooperate fully with the league."
According to documents obtained by ABC, a woman who had been in a relationship with Barmore alleged that the Patriots player became angry with her about the air conditioning temperature in his bedroom and that they also had argued over food.
The woman told police that Barmore grabbed her cellphone from her hands while she was trying to leave the house.
The documents stated that the woman "intended to open the door and scream for help but Christian grabbed her before she could and threw her to the floor." She said Barmore grabbed her by the shirt "in the area of the neck" as she tried to get up, but he eventually let her go.
Barmore, 26, is in his fifth year with the Patriots, who conclude their regular season on Sunday at home against the Miami Dolphins. New England has already qualified for the playoffs by winning the AFC East for the first time since 2019.
Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters that Barmore was not with the team on Wednesday due to an illness.
The charge against Barmore comes one day after Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs was found to be facing a felony charge of strangulation and a misdemeanor charge of assault from an alleged incident on December 2.
