Kadarius Toney arrested after allegedly strangling woman

The reported incident took place in Georgia on Jan. 14. According to police reports obtained by the outlet, Toney allegedly put his hands around a woman’s throat “with enough force to cause her to be unable to breathe.”

Toney also allegedly took the woman’s phone when she attempted to call 911. According to the documents, the alleged assault left red marks on the woman’s throat and caused “petechial hemorrhaging” in her eyes.

An arrest warrant was issued the next day, and Toney was officially booked on Feb. 6. A judge set bail at $25K for each count. ESPN reports that Toney wasn’t listed as in custody on Feb. 7.

A former first-round pick by the Giants, Toney lasted only a year-plus in New York before getting dealt to the Chiefs. He hauled in 41 receptions for Kansas City across a year-and-a-half, earning a pair of Super Bowl rings along the way. The 26-year-old was cut last August and landed on the Browns practice squad, where he spent most of the 2025 season. He was released by Cleveland in December following a one-game cameo where he muffed a punt and earned a taunting penalty.
