According to documents from Attleboro District Court obtained Wednesday by WBZ-TV, Barmore was charged with one count of assault and battery on a "family/household member," later identified as a girlfriend, after an incident at their home in Mansfield, Massachusetts on August 8.
“The woman had been dating Barmore for more than three years, has a child with him, and was pregnant at the time with their second child, according to the Mansfield Police report. She told an investigator Barmore was upset the morning of August 8 because the air conditioner was set at 70 degrees and he wanted it at 68,” reported WBZ.
In the 2024 incident, Barmore first claimed racism in a social media post and later deleted the post.
Colonel Oscar Perez issued the following statement at the time in response to claims of racism by the Providence Police Department after an incident with a member of the New England Patriots:
The Providence Police Department takes all concerns from the public very seriously and with the utmost professionalism. In this particular case, the vehicle in question was found to be unregistered during a routine traffic stop, which is a violation of the law. The officer acted in full compliance with department protocols and state regulations.
We understand that any encounter with law enforcement can be stressful, however, it’s important to note that officers are required to enforce all applicable laws, including those related to vehicle registration. We will continue to review the situation to ensure that proper procedures were followed and to maintain transparency with the public.
