John Bowlen, son of Broncos owner, arrested - Greeley Tribune
John Bowlen Jr. , the 29-year-old son of Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen and an administrative employee of the team, has been placed on indefinite leave following his arrest on domestic violence charges. The younger Bowlen was arrested Wednesday night in the Denver suburb of Glendale on suspicion of third-degree assault and harassment after allegedly pushing his girlfriend against a bathroom wall, police said. After being held overnight at the Arapahoe County Jail, which is next to the Broncos’ suburban headquarters, Bowlen was released Thursday on $1,000 bond. His next court hearing is scheduled for July 6. “We are disappointed to learn of the matter involving John Bowlen,” the Broncos said in a statement, adding, “While this is a personal issue, he is accountable to all club and league conduct policies. The Broncos were one of the first teams in the NFL to conduct mandatory domestic violence training for all employees last year. Bowlen, who is a marketing assistant with the team based out of Sports Authority Field, was required to attend the seminars. Team president and CEO Joe Ellis is running the team in the meantime. He said last month that the transfer of ownership to one of Bowlen’s seven children was still a ways off. Source: www.greeleytribune.com
