Former Ohio State football player arrested for strangulation

OHIO — Michael Roen McCullough, 25, a former Ohio State football player, was arrested Friday after allegedly assaulting his girlfriend, Columbus police said.

Officers responded to a domestic violence call on Marconi Boulevard around 9 p.m.

The woman told police that during an argument while driving home the previous morning, McCullough broke her cell phone, punched her in the face multiple times, grabbed her throat, and pushed her against the car window.

Court records state she did not remember being driven the rest of the way home and regained consciousness when they arrived at their residence.

Police observed visible injuries, including a black eye, a cut, a swollen lower lip, and a bruise on her throat.

McCullough was charged with one count of strangulation and booked into the Franklin County Jail on Saturday. He is scheduled for an arraignment in Franklin County Municipal Court on Tuesday.
