This incident, however, is the most recent in a slate of off-the-field issues. Elliott is currently under investigation for domestic violence accusations stemming from 2016. After the<strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/brownjos01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Josh Brown<\/a><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonnfl.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2016\/10\/21\/nfl-botched-josh-brown-investigation-sheriff-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">incident<\/a>, the NFL really has no choice <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/report-growing-sense-cowboys-ezekiel-elliott-may-face-suspension-domestic-violence-investigation-185441992.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">but to be thorough with Elliott&#8217;s case<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This is also adding to a series of incidents that have haunted Elliott since becoming an NFL player. In 2016, Elliott <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/nfl\/story\/cowboys-rb-ezekiel-elliott-speaks-out-on-visit-to-weed-shop-i-was-curious-082916\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">was at a marijuana dispensary in Seattle<\/a> before his first preseason game against the Seahawks.<\/p>\n<p>Marijuana is legal in the state of Washington, but it still looks bad on the running back. Marijuana is also still against the NFL&#8217;s drug policy as a part of the current collective bargaining agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Ezekiel Elliott was in another incident at a Dallas bar in March of this year. Caught on camera, Elliott <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2017\/03\/13\/ezekiel-elliott-expose-woman-breast-st-pattys-day-parade\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">exposed a woman&#8217;s breast at a St. Patrick&#8217;s Day parade<\/a>. The incident appears to be non-incident but still looks bad.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/story\/0ap3000000810983\/article\/ezekiel-elliott-injures-head-in-car-crash-misses-practice\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">He was also in a car accident this past May<\/a>. Being a passenger in a car accident is no crime and not at all Elliott&#8217;s fault. It does, however, add to the timeline of off-field issues.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas is already having to deal with <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonnfl.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2017\/06\/09\/cowboys-off-field-issues-progress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">suspensions<\/a> for <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/G\/GregRa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Randy Gregory<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/I\/IrviDa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">David Irving<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/C\/CarrNo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nolan Carroll<\/a><\/strong>, and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WilsDa02.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Damien Wilson<\/a><\/strong> this season.
