Denver Broncos' outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper was booked into jail again Thursday night after being arrested last week on domestic violence and criminal mischief charges.
“We are disappointed to learn of Jonathon Cooper’s arrest on Thursday and continue to review this matter,” the Denver Broncos told Denver7 Friday morning.
Thursday night, Cooper was arrested for violation of the protection order put in place following his last arrest, the public information officer for the 23rd Judicial District Tom Mustin said.

According to last week's arrest affidavit, Cooper got into a fight with his girlfriend who he's been in an off-and-on again relationship with for about four years. Cooper's girlfriend was inside his apartment confronting him of cheating allegations, the affidavit reads.
Both of them were arrested on misdemeanor charges of domestic violence and criminal mischief. Cooper was brought to jail, and the girlfriend was transported to Anschutz Hospital for a forensic nurse exam.

Cooper appeared from the Douglas County jail Friday morning for his court appearance with his attorney Harvey Steinberg. The district attorney's office asked the judge for a full no-contact order and that Cooper relinquish firearms.
Attorney Ron Gainor was also in Douglas County court to represent Cooper's girlfriend.
"We are obviously concerned about the contact that happened yesterday that was extensive," Gainor said.
A $5,000 PR bond was issued for Cooper, and no GPS monitoring was ordered as originally requested by Gainor. Cooper's next court appearance was scheduled for July 14 at 9 a.m.
