Jourdan Lewis Found Not Guilty on Misdemeanor Domestic Violence Charge

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Jourdan Lewis was found not guilty of misdemeanor domestic violence Tuesday following an alleged altercation with his ex-girlfriend in March, according to ESPN.com's Michael Rothstein. 

Lewis, 21, pleaded not guilty to one count of misdemeanor domestic violence a month before the NFL Draft after he engaged in a late-night argument with Nikole Miller.  

According to MLive.com's John Counts, Lewis admitted to hitting Miller with the pillow he was sleeping on but was "adamant" he did not strike her with his hands.

"None of this was malicious intent," Lewis said, per Counts. "I was just trying to get out of the house."

A former University of Michigan standout, Lewis was selected 92nd overall by the Cowboys in the third round of April's draft.  

As a rookie, he's expected to compete for snaps as a slot cornerback after the Cowboys used four draft picks to bolster their secondary in advance of the 2017 season.
