Ex-NFL, USC Star Keyshawn Johnson Arrested on Suspicion of Domestic Abuse

Former NFL and USC wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson was arrested early Monday on suspicion of domestic abuse in Calabasas.

Authorities responded around 12:48 a.m. to reports of possible spousal abuse at his home, according to a news release from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Deputies determined that Johnson and his ex-girlfriend “were involved in a domestic dispute,” officials said.

Johnson was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic battery. He was booked in jail but was released after posting $20,000 bail.

A call to SAFE Sports Management President Jerome Stanley, who negotiated Johnson’s contract for the NFL Countdown show on ESPN, was not immediately returned.
