Former Alabama and NFL Running Back Arrested
T.J. Yeldon, a former running back for Alabama and the NFL, is currently facing three charges following his arrest by the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office during a domestic incident on Saturday.
According to records from the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office, Yeldon was taken into custody at approximately 2:11 a.m. CDT on Saturday.
The charges against him include harassment of a family member, interfering with a domestic violence emergency call, and third-degree criminal mischief.
The third-degree criminal mischief charge is classified as a misdemeanor, involving property damage not exceeding $500.
Yeldon was released from the Baldwin County Corrections Center on Sunday after posting a $2,000 bond.
According to a press release from the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a 911 call around 1 a.m. from a location on Alabama Highway 181.
Less than two miles from Jubilee Stadium, where Yeldon excelled during high school, deputies reported hearing an active domestic disturbance inside a residence.
After knocking on the door and noticing the lights go off, the male party inside allegedly attempted to break into the room where the victim had locked herself away. Deputies managed to detain Yeldon after he unlocked the door.
