BEREA, Ohio (AP) – Johnny Manziel’s roadside argument with his girlfriend could lead to punishment from the NFL.

Browns coach Mike Pettine said Monday that the league is investigating the high-profile backup quarterback’s domestic dispute last week. Manziel was questioned by police in Avon, Ohio, after his girlfriend claimed he was physical with her when the two had a heated disagreement while driving on an Interstate highway.

Colleen Crowley can be heard telling police on a dash-cam video that Manziel was physical with her, saying he “he hit me a couple times.” Manziel was not arrested and Crowley, who police said appeared intoxicated, did not press charges.

League spokesman Brian McCarthy said Manziel’s situation will be reviewed.

“It is standard procedure to look into any incident that is a potential violation of our personal conduct policy,” McCarthy said in an email.
