Former Rider Justin Cox arrested on warrant for assault

Oct 24, 2018 | 6:28 AM

Former Roughrider Justin Cox is back in police custody after a warrant was issued for his arrest more than two weeks ago.

Regina police issued the warrant for Cox on Oct. 5 on charges of assault and breaching his conditions.

The charges stem from a report of a domestic assault on Sept. 25 when police found a woman injured at a home. After being unable to find Cox they issued a warrant for his arrest.

Cox is currently awaiting sentencing for another assault charge stemming from August 2017 which he pleaded guilty to.
