Cardinals' Desmond Harrison Charged with Assault by Strangulation on a Woman

A felony arrest warrant has been issued for former Arizona Cardinals offensive tackle Desmond Harrison by police in Greensboro, North Carolina. He's charged with assault on a person by strangulation and assault on a woman by a man.

Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski first reported the news. Greensboro Police Department spokesman Ron Glenn told Eric Edholm of Yahoo Sports the report was filed against Harrison on Tuesday, but no further information about the allegations or the woman's relation to Harrison was provided.

Arizona announced his release shortly after the arrest warrant became public.

Harrison spent the 2018 season with the Cleveland Browns after signing as an undrafted free agent out of West Georgia. He made eight starts as a rookie but was waived June 5.

The Cardinals claimed him off waivers one day later.

Harrison said after joining the Cards his own mistakes, including missed meetings, led to his departure from Cleveland and pledged to make things right in Arizona.

"I'll just show that [I can be dependable] with my actions," he told reporters. "My guys are going to hold me accountable, as well as the coaches."

The 25-year-old Houston native attended Oak Ridge Military Academy in North Carolina.

Harrison was suspended three times in two years at the University of Texas before finishing his college football career at West Georgia.
