Ex-Viking CB AJ Jefferson accused of strangling girlfriend

Ex-Vikings CB AJ Jefferson has been charged with felony strangulation stemming from his arrest earlier this week, where he allegedly choke his girlfriend and threw her across the room.

According to the Eden Prairie Police Department in MN … the accuser told cops she and AJ got into an argument on November 25 after a night on the town. She says things got so bad, he went to a neighbor’s home and she went to sleep in the guest room of her home.

The GF claims AJ returned to their home and confronted her about ignoring his text messages — and that’s when things got violent.

The GF told police AJ “grabbed her neck and she could not breathe.” He then “picked her up by the neck” and threw her off the bed and onto the floor.

Cops say the GF went to a police station after the incident with red marks on both sides of her neck — and that’s why officials decided to charge Jefferson with a crime.

Perhaps that’s why the Vikings were so quick to sever ties with the CB. He was cut from the team the morning following the arrest. Innocent until proven guilty
