Josh Jacobs Sues Wisconsin Police Department Over Video Release

Green Bay Appleton, WI, October 15, 2026 —

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is suing the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department in Wisconsin in an effort to block the release of video evidence connected to his criminal case. Jacobs argues that releasing the video would compromise the security of his home and his personal safety.

The information provided does not identify the court where the lawsuit was filed or say when it was brought. It also does not describe the video, specify the underlying criminal allegations or explain the legal basis for Jacobs’ request to prevent its release.

The police department’s position was not provided, and no ruling or other court action was reported. It is therefore unclear whether the video has been released, whether the department has agreed to withhold it, or when a decision on the dispute might be made.

The case concerns the release of evidence from a criminal matter, but the available information does not establish what the footage shows or how it could affect the case. Further details about the lawsuit, the department’s response and any decision by the court were not included in the summary.
