John Panicker has confirmed with Frisco PD that Cowboys DL David Irving is being investigated for domestic violence allegations made by his girlfriend.

Panicker adds that the allegations made against Irving were reported to police on April 22nd at two separate times — 5pm and 10pm — by his girlfriend.

According to Drew Davison, Irving is being investigated on three allegations — assault bodily injury of a family member; assault family member impeding breath/ circulation and unlawful restraint.

Davison adds that the assault impeding breath/circulation is a felony.

As of now, no arrests have been made, but it appears as though the recent social media posts are being taken very seriously.

Irving’s ex-girlfriend apparently “hacked” his Twitter account and posted a number of allegations against him including that he beat her, and has smoked weed and done other illegal drugs while in the NFL’s substance abuse program, via the Dallas Morning News.

Irving later responded saying that he kicked her out for cheating on him and he has since changed the locks in his house and and all of his passwords.

Irving, 24, originally signed on with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent out of Iowa State back in 2015. He was waived at the start of the regular season and later added to the Chiefs’ practice squad.

The Cowboys signed him to their active roster just a few weeks into the 2015 season and brought him back on a one-year, $615,000 exclusive rights contract last year.

Dallas used a second-round restricted tender on Irving a few months ago, which will cost them $2.914 million for the 2018 season.

In 2017, Irving appeared in eight games and recorded 22 tackles, seven sacks, a forced fumble and six pass defenses.
