The Oakland (Florida) Police Department issued an arrest warrant Wednesday against former NFL running back Zac Stacy under charges of aggravated battery and criminal mischief from an alleged violent dispute against the mother of his child.
According to a redacted arrest affidavit obtained by USA TODAY Sports, Oakland police responded to an emergency at the victim's home on the afternoon of Saturday, Nov. 13, where officers found that she "appeared to be emotionally distraught with tears in her eyes."
The affidavit stated that the victim's shirt was torn, she had food in her hair, a large, flat-screen television was knocked over and broken, there was food scattered on the floor and a baby's bouncy chair was knocked over and broken.
Earlier on Thursday, TMZ published a video showing the alleged incident. According to the affidavit, the video was from the woman's home surveillance system.
Oakland Police detective Shawn Dozier wrote in the affidavit that he observed the surveillance footage, which showed the alleged altercation. Dozier wrote that the video showed Stacy "strike the victim twice to the back of her head with the first strike with an unknown object in his hand." According to the affidavit, the second blow was with a closed fist to the back of the head that knocked the victim down.
