The count of strangulation is a felony.

Per the Washington Post:

The other charges are three counts of assault and battery, as well as one count of destruction of property. Guice turned himself in at the Loudoun Adult Detention Center at roughly 5 p.m.

Guice has hired Peter D. Greenspun, a prominent criminal attorney in Northern Virginia whose past clients include D.C. sniper John Allen Muhammad and sportscaster Marv Albert. Greenspun, who was seen entering the jail shortly after Guice’s arrest, declined to comment as he left.

Guice was a second-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft out of LSU — but missed his entire rookie season due to an ACL tear in the preseason.

His 2019 was also plagued with knee injuries — he was limited to five games and only rushed for 245 yards.
