Graphic Details Released in Frank Gore’s Domestic Violence Charge

Former NFL workhorse running back Frank Gore is in some hot water.

The former 49er and the third-leading rusher in NFL history, was charged in Atlantic City, for what Police are saying is a domestic violence incident. Gore was charged with simple assault, the police said in a statement late Tuesday evening.

Via Tips411:

On July 31, 2022, at 8:11 AM, patrol units were dispatched to Tropicana Atlantic City for a report of a domestic violence dispute. Officers arrived to find the victim, a 28-year-old woman from Miami Florida, speaking with hotel security. The victim did not exhibit signs of injury and complaints were not filed at the time. However, an ensuing investigation resulted in Franklin Gore being charged with simple assault related to the domestic violence incident.

CHARGED: Franklin Gore, 39, Southwest Ranches, FL.

Gore has not publicly commented on the incident. He faces a court date later this year.

TMZ Sports just released some graphic details on the incident:

“Frank Gore grabbed a naked woman by her hair and dragged her across a hotel room’s hallway during an altercation in Atlantic City, N.J. last month … according to new, bombshell court documents obtained by TMZ Sports.

Cops say the incident between the NFL legend and a 28-year-old woman happened in the early morning hours of July 31 on the 59th floor of the Tropicana Casino’s Havana Tower.

According to the docs, Gore “forcibly” gripped the woman by her hair … before “violently dragging her nude person along the floor of the 59th hallway.”

Gore did not play in the NFL last season, and returned to the Niners on a one-day contract to retire in June.  Gore ended up finishing 3rd all time in rushing  yards, racking up exactly 16,000 yards in a 16-year NFL career, mostly with the 49ers.

The legendary running back told the media earlier this year that he was hoping to eventually join the 49ers’ front office.
