Denver Broncos Wide receiver Brandon Marshall was charged with two counts of simple battery stemming from a 6-month-old domestic violence complaint.
The charges, filed Sept. 10, by Georgia Prosecutors allege Marshall threw his ex-girlfriend on a bed, slapped her, and damaged an apartment.
Marshall said Thursday he had been waiting for charges to be filed, but it wasn’t clear why they came so long after the complaint.
