The police confirmed that Jacobs was taken into custody on May 26 and booked into the Brown County Jail on five charges, which include battery and domestic abuse, as well as criminal damage to property, disorderly conduct, strangulation, and intimidation of a victim.
The police department stated, "This remains an active and ongoing investigation. No further information will be released at this time."
