Johnny Manziel Officially Indicted In Domestic Violence Case

We knew it was coming and now it's official -- Johnny Manziel has been indicted on 1 count of misdemeanor assault for allegedly attacking his ex-girlfriend back in January.

According to court docs, the grand jury believes there's enough evidence to prove Manziel struck his ex-girlfriend, Colleen Crowley, with his hand ... and then "forced [her] into a vehicle and against a vehicle dashboard."

As we previously reported, Crowley claimed the QB hit her several times during an argument in their car while leaving a Dallas bar. Crowley claimed Manziel ruptured her eardrum.

Officials kicked the case over to a grand jury to determine if charges should be brought against Manziel -- and moments ago, they officially handed down the charge.

If convicted, Manziel faces up to one year in jail.
