) – A former Ohio State linebacker facing multiple assault charges accepted a plea offer Monday, nearly two years after his initial arrest.

According to court records, Darron Lee waived a trial by jury and accepted a plea offer to dismiss a domestic violence charge and amend an assault charge to attempted assault, making it a misdemeanor.

Lee then pleaded guilty to attempted assault and was issued two years of non-reporting community control and a fine of $500. Lee was also ordered to be in compliance of a no contact order with the victims. A previous report can be seen in the player above.

with two different women, the first occurring in Oct. 2022.

On April 4, officers arrested Lee after a woman accused him of assaulting her the night before, and another person on separate occasions. The victim told police that when the woman approached Lee in a bedroom and asked him to leave, he became upset. Lee then threw her against the wall and then to the ground, according to the criminal complaint document.

While she was on the ground, Lee punched the victim repeatedly around eight or nine times, then pulled her hair while over top of her. Officers stated that two other women who were at the residence came upstairs to the victim’s aid.

During that incident, police learned that on Oct. 17, 2022, Lee allegedly assaulted a second victim and threatened to kill her. Lee reportedly began choking her and threw a cell phone off a wall, which struck the victim and made her ear bleed.

He then allegedly followed the victim and picked her up by the neck and threw her to the ground. The woman was able to break free and leave the residence.
