Police report shows disturbing details in Adongo case

Police have twice in the past three months been called to the Fishers' home of former Colts linebacker Daniel Adongo to investigate potential domestic violence, and the NFL confirmed Friday it is investigating Adongo under its personal conduct policy.

The Colts waived Adongo on Thursday, one week after the second police call on Dec. 10. Adongo was ruled out of Sunday's loss at Jacksonville, though the team did not give a reason for the decision. Coach Chuck Pagano would not comment on whether the decision to waive Adongo was related to the police calls.

Hamilton County deputy prosecutor Amy Summerfield said in a statement that no charges would be filed and the case is closed.

On Oct. 24, a woman told police that she was afraid of Adongo and did not want him to return to his residence but "was not forthcoming with any information in reference to these incidents," according to the police report. She indicated that arguments had occurred over the past several months. Adongo went to the Fishers Police Department while officers were speaking with the woman and said he would not stay at the home that evening and was going to end the relationship, according to the police report.

According to the police report, Adongo said he has an "open case" with the NFL and was limited on what he could say. The report states, "Adongo advised the information (the woman) provided is inaccurate and the NFL Investigators have all the information to prove that." NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy on Friday responded by email to a question from IndyStar regarding the case: "We are aware and it's under review."

On Dec. 10, police returned to the home after Dawn Monks, who said she is a friend of the woman, told them she had received text messages from the woman reading "911" and "Help." Monks told police that Adongo had previously kicked open the bathroom door, grabbed the woman by the throat and held her underwater in the bathtub, according to the report. She said Adongo had previously punched multiple holes in the walls and damaged appliances, the woman's car, furniture and cell phones.

When police spoke to the woman, she was covering herself in a blanket. Police noted that she had a black left eye, a large cut on her lip and marks on her lower wrists. The woman said "she caused these marks to herself because she is crazy," according to the police report. Monks later went to the police station, according to the police report, and said the woman had said Adongo had caused the marks.
