Another New England Patriots star has found himself in legal trouble.
Just one day after it was revealed that Stefon Diggs was accused of disruptive behavior, Christian Barmore is being charged with assault.
Barmore is accused of assaulting a person he had been in a relationship with in Mansfield, Massachusetts, back in August, according to court records obtained by Pakinomist Digital.

The alleged victim claimed she and Barmore argued about the temperature of a room and about food.
Barmore allegedly grabbed the victim’s phone as she tried to leave. The alleged victim then “intended to open the door and scream for help, but Christian grabbed her before she could and threw her to the floor.” Barmore then allegedly grabbed the victim by the shirt near her neck. Barmore also allegedly told the victim that he wanted his cousin to “f— [her] up.”
“[Victim] is worried that he might hire someone to hurt her and make her life difficult. [Victim] mentioned that she has heard Christian threaten people before, while saying that with the money he has, he can hire anyone…” said a police report obtained by Pakinomist Digital. “About a week later, [Victim] sent me some text messages between her and Christian. They were older messages but she wanted me to see them as she said they show what he is capable of doing, especially when it comes to having someone hurt her.”
Barmore has been charged with one count of assault and battery on a family/household member. The alleged victim also said she no longer wants to bond with Barmore.

Barmore is scheduled to be arraigned on Feb. 3, five days before Super Bowl LX. The Patriots could clinch the top seed in the AFC this weekend.
“The New England Patriots are aware of reports regarding a pending February lawsuit involving Christian Barmore stemming from an alleged domestic incident that occurred in August. The Patriots were made aware at the time of the incident and informed the NFL in a timely manner,” the team said in a statement. “The matter remains part of an ongoing legal process. We will respect that process, continue to monitor the situation closely as we have over the past few months, and cooperate fully with the league. We will have no further comment at this time.”

The news of Barmore’s charges comes just one day after it was revealed that his teammate at Diggs allegedly strangled his female chef over money earlier this month. The woman told police that Diggs “slapped her in the face,” she tried to push him away, and then “he tried to choke her by using his elbow around her neck.”
