Although the Bellevue Police Department recommended a fourth-degree assault charge against Seahawks defensive tackle Jarran Reed in connection with a 2017 domestic violence incident, the city’s prosecuting office declined to pursue the case further, feeling there was insufficient evidence to prove the crime occurred.
The City of Bellevue made that assertion in a statement released Tuesday after a request from The Seattle Times.
The reasoning for why the city’s prosecutors did not pursue the case was redacted from a 57-page police report that was made available Monday after it was learned that Reed had been suspended for the first six games of the 2019 season by the NFL for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.
