Ex NFL Star Captain Munnerlyn Says he is Actually The Victim Denies Assaulted Woman Allegations

Munnerlyn, through his attorney, James J. Exum, is denying the allegations saying he is "actually the victim of assault in this case. Captain Munnerlyn is being victimized based on his fame and celebrity," Exum said in a statement "He assaulted absolutely no one. We look forward to having this matter resolved in court. Former NFL DB Captain Munnerlyn who started 85 games in his 10-year career was arrested last month after he was accused of getting violent with a woman. Munnerlyn allegedly roughed up a woman in North Carolina back on Jan. 3. In the docs, officials say Munnerlyn struck a female in the face with his foot. They also say the ex-Carolina Panthers cornerback strangled her, resulting in bruises and scratches. Further details surrounding the alleged incident were not made immediately available . but the docs show Munnerlyn was arrested and bonded out of jail just days after the allegations were made. The documents show Munnerlyn was hit with two charges, assault on a female and assault by strangulation. He's due in court for a hearing on the matter on March 1, the docs show.
