Charles Omenihu of the 49ers was arrested on suspicion of domestic abuse.
Less than twenty-four hours after San Francisco defeated the Cowboys in the divisional round of the playoffs, 49ers defensive end Charles Omenihu was taken into custody on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic assault on Monday, according to a press statement from the San Jose Police Department.
According to the announcement, Omenihu was taken into prison at Santa Clara County Jail on Monday, but he has already made bond and is no longer there. A restraining order was also served to Omenihu.
Monday at 4:39 p.m. local time, a woman reported to police that her boyfriend, Omenihu, had shoved her to the ground after an altercation. Police were summoned to investigate what appeared to be a case of domestic abuse. The woman complained of arm pain, but officers stated they did not see any obvious physical injuries, according to the release.
Before being taken into custody, Omenihu stayed at the location and assisted the reporting officers.
The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office will now review the matter in order to consider filing charges against Omenihu.
According to ESPN’s Nick Wagoner, the 49ers issued a statement saying, “We are aware of the matter involving Charles Omenihu and are in the process of gathering further information.”
In his second season with the 49ers, Omenihu, 25, has made a big impact on the defensive line for the squad. His season total of sacks is 4.5. He participated in 15 snaps of San Francisco’s divisional round victory over Dallas before suffering an oblique injury that prevented him from playing in the remainder of the team’s 19–12 triumph.
In the NFC title game on Sunday, the 49ers will now travel to play the Eagles.
