Von Miller is available to play this week for the Bills vs. the Chiefs, GM Brandon Beane told reporters Wednesday.

The linebacker last week reportedly turned himself into police on accusations that he put his hands around his pregnant girlfriend's neck, shoved her and pulled her hair.

He is facing a felony charge of assault on a pregnant person.


Beane told reporters, 'There's not a lot that I can say. Von is here to be a part of the team.'

The GM added that 'we have to let the legal process play out,' but told reporters that the accusations against the 34-year-old seemed out of character.

Beane also said that the allegations against Miller were 'very serious' but that the team would 'follow the lead' of investigators.

In my seat, or [owner] Terry Pegula or [head coach] Sean McDermott - we're just trying to do the right thing,' Beane said. 'And you're never gonna make a 100 percent of people happy.'

A spokesperson for the Dallas County Sheriff's Office told TMZ that Miller was booked at the Glenn Heights' Police Department in Glenn Heights, Texas, at around 4 p.m. (C.T.) on Thursday.

According to documents obtained by several media outlets, police say the incident initially started at Miller's apartment in the Dallas-Forth Worth area at roughly 10:40 a.m., Wednesday, when he and his girlfriend argued over their travel plans for this upcoming weekend.

The woman allegedly became upset during the altercation, left the bedroom and walked into the home's office, flinging shut the door behind her. That's when Miller became 'visibly angry'.

Authorities then say in the documents that Miller managed to enter the office room, demanding for his girlfriend to leave the apartment.

The woman, according to the docs, said she acted in accordance with his request, but wanted to grab a few of her belongings, like a laptop and some cell phones, prior to departing from the residence, as 'they were both cohabitants of the unit.'

That's when Miller allegedly turned to violence.

Officials say in their report that the victim alleged the Bills player of walking up to her while she was still collecting her things, before repeatedly shoving and pushing her.

'While the altercation was going on,' officers wrote in the warrant, Miller's girlfriend 'kept yelling ''Stop I'm pregnant.'''

She further told authorities that Miller eventually pushed her onto a chair, then laid a hand on her and applied pressure to her neck 'for 3 to 5 seconds before letting go.'

The woman reported the pain to police but did 'not have difficulty breathing', docs obtained by TMZ state.

Miller then allegedly threw his girlfriend's laptop on the group before stomping on it.

Officials also say in their report that when the woman went to get her personal device, Miller walked up to her and 'pulled her by her hair, ultimately pulling a chunk of hair out and causing her to fall to the ground'. 

According to the arrest warrant, when authorities arrived at the scene, the woman, who claims to be six weeks pregnant, had abrasions on her left hand, and bruises on her neck, abdomen and left bicep.
