The ex-girlfriend and mother of
Titus Young’s son claimed the
troubled ex-Lions receiver waited
outside her home, threatened and
harassed her while seeking a
restraining order, according to the
Press-Enterprise.
A Riverside County judge granted a
temporary restraining order
Wednesday, May 8 during an eight-
day period in which Young was
arrested four times . The order
requires the NFL free agent to stay
at least 100 yards away at all times
from his ex-girlfriend, who is also
the mother of his 8-month-old son,
Titus Jr.
From the Press-Enterprise:
“He would say things like, ‘I
understand why O.J. killed his
wife.’ He says, ‘We’re always
gonna be a family and I’m
always going to be his,’” the
restraining order request
states. “He got mad and yelled
at my neighbors and tried to
fight multiple people that he
doesn’t even know.
“Titus Young Sr. has been
clinically diagnosed with a
mental disorder and I am afraid
of what he is capable of doing,”
she wrote in the restraining
order request. “He also has
been in a mental help facility
more than once and still
believes that he does not have
a problem.”
Young, 23, was drafted by the Lions
in 2011 before being benched in
November for detrimental conduct
— including punching teammate
Louis Delmas — and eventually
released from the team at the end
of last season. The Rams claimed
Young, but released him after nine
days.
His father claims Young suffers from
a psychological disorder stemming
from a concussion.
