NFL's Chris Claybrooks Arrested After Allegedly Destroying Woman's Phone
Claybrooks was initially hit with one count of domestic assault with bodily injury and one count of vandalism under $1,000 after authorities claimed he got into a dispute with a woman in a movie theater parking lot in Nashville on April 14.
During the alleged incident, prosecutors said Claybrooks grabbed the woman's phone from her hand and destroyed it. Authorities added in court documents that the altercation resulted in bruises and abrasions on the woman's hand.
TMZ Sports spoke with Claybrooks about the alleged incident ... and he's adamant he never put his hands on the woman.
Claybrooks says she showed up at the movie theater with a wig on and confronted him about money ... and he only threw her phone after he feared for his son's safety.
At the time, the Jaguars said in a statement they were aware of the allegations and were in "the process of gathering information."
Claybrooks has appeared in 46 games for Jacksonville since he was picked by the team in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He's totaled 81 tackles and five pass deflections in his career ... while also working as the Jags' kick returner.
