Terry McDonough, who previously worked as the Arizona Cardinals vice president of player personnel, faces assault charges. McDonough's neighbor accused the former NFL executive of choking him during a verbal altercation over lawn care and farm equipment. McDonough is scheduled to appear in court on April 11. The charge stems from an alleged incident on March 12.
This person has a history of volatile behavior and also publicized in national news related to a case he has with the Arizona Cardinals,' the man said in the affidavit. 'He tried to strangle me unprovoked and both me and my family do not feel safe.' Fox News Digital's attempts to reach McDonough were unsuccessful.
McDonough filed an arbitration claim against the Cardinals last April accusing owner Michael Bidwill of cheating. McDonough claims he was eventually demoted after he objected to a scheme that would involve the use of 'burner phones' to circumvent the 2018 suspension of then-GM Steve Keim, who had been arrested for DUI.
