911 calls released from Joseph Randle incident

WICHITA, Kan. - For the first time we're hearing the 911 calls for help from women who say Dallas Cowboys running back Joseph Randle threatened them.

Eyewitness News requested the calls through the Kansas Open Records Act and police released them Monday.

A drug charge against the Wichita native was dropped last week, but police say there's still an open investigation.

Police responded to a domestic disturbance with a gun at the Wichita hotel early Tuesday morning. When they got there, officers found marijuana but no weapon. No one was hurt.

Randle was cited, but not taken into custody. Again, that drug charge was later dropped.

Dalia Jacobs made the first call to Sedgwick County 911. She told the dispatcher Randle threatened her, their son, and another woman.

"Joseph Randle just broke a window," Jacobs said on the call. "He pointed a gun in front of somebody's car and then he busted her window open."

This isn't particularly illuminating. I imagine there was some sort of argument between the two parties, but I'd like to see if there are charges pressed before I condemn Randle. If there was a bleeding woman with a busted car window, I'm shocked that the cops didn't haul Randle off to jail.

 

[Tabascocat]

I can't tell either way who is telling the truth. There is probably something to Randle threatening them but how far did it really go? Joseph would have went to jail if there was any shred of violence at the scene IMO.

 

[Idgit]

Was there actually a broken window on the scene? I haven't heard that confirmed, either way yet.

And, I'm not a huge fan of Randle's, and this stuff makes me like him even less, but I have to say, these tapes didn't sound entirely convincing to me, either. Not sure what's going on here, but neither party is exactly covering themselves with glory right now.

If the police found her window broken at the scene and didn't arrest Randle that would surprise me.

Me, too. Similarly, if she said he broke the window when no window was broken, that would surprise me. Just goes to show how much information is missing in reports like these, even days after the reported incidents.

I do believe the fact that the Cowboys' staff has seen fit to use Randle so sparingly speaks volumes about how they feel about him. Add to that the fact that a quite talented Ryan Williams is lurking in the background would only tend to emphasize the probability that Randle isn't very likely to figure into their plans very prominently. I've really got to believe Randle's days in Dallas are numbered considerably more than he might even imagine. I think he'd be well-advised to temper his impulsive behavior in the future if he's planning on remaining a Cowboys much longer. The clock continues to tick on him in the meantime. Realistically, he's just not special enough to get away with the problems he's causing.

The only thing working in his favour right now is the rookie contract he's being paid. I think they keep him around until he messes up again. Can't imagine it will take that long.

Good point. When the time comes to renew his contract (or not) he just might be disappointed in the outcome.

Wichita Police released the 911 calls stemming from last week’s incident involving Cowboys running back Joseph Randle, in which he’s alleged to have threatened the mother of his child.

Kansas has a manditory DV arrest law, if there was probable cause he would have been locked up on the scene.

Woman who called 911 on Joseph Randle tried to wave off cops
According to the tapes, obtained by NBC 5 in Dallas, the woman described a scene of Randle threatening her with a gun and breaking the window out of her car, before calling back later to say everything had been worked out.

“He pointed the gun in front of the mother of his child and he pointed it in front of this other female, . . . we have our child here and he has a lot of weed,” the woman said on the tape. “Joseph Randle just broke a window, he pointed a gun in front of somebody’s car and then he busted her window open, . . . he plays for the Cowboys.”

She ended the first call when she said Randle was approaching, then later called back to tell police they didn’t need to report.

“I was just talking to someone. I’m the woman that called about Joseph Randle,” she said. “Um, you guys don’t have to worry about it. We talked it out. We just talked it out, it’s fine. Everything’s fine. We just talked to him and everything’s fine now.

“Everything’s fine now, you don’t have to worry about it though. Just, please don’t come.”

Randle is hanging out with a bad crowd. And that woman is probably one of the worst of the bad apples. Not saying Randle is a choir boy. Far from it. Best thing for Randle is that this is a huge wake-up call for him to get his head out of his rear end. He also needs to thank his lucky stars for the restraining order ... since the best thing for him is to never, ever see this woman again. She is bad news and will bring him down. She will stop at nothing.

Best thing for the Cowboys is to cut him right now. He is a bad apple and will take others on the team down. He needs to go for the good of the team and for his own good. The Cowboys don't need any players with large quantities of weed and guns or players hanging out with friends who have guns and weed.

I dont understand why were still allowing this kid to still stay on the team....

I dont think hes that talented that he warrants a spot apparently he cant keep his nose clean and needs a fresh start

It's the offseason. His presence doesn't impact the 90 man roster.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Really? If there was busted glass everywhere and glass in her kids face the cops aren't going to charge him right away? She than proceeds to wave them off saying everything is fine and than goes to a news station to once again plead her case? Extremely fishy to me.

Regardless this man is clearly not a RKG and should be shown the door. Bringing him back will only set a bad example in the locker room. Besides he has already had issues with teamates why keep him around....obvioulsy just my opinion.

Josh Brent is here.

I'm kind of tired of reading the "cut this idiot" rhetoric. He hasn't been charged with anything and nobody knows what really happened. He wasn't arrested. He hasn't been convicted of anything. As of now, this is an argument and an accusation, that's pretty much it.

I'll say it again, Josh Brent.

JJ Wilcox and Dez got in a fist fight in practice. Should Wilcox be cut?
