Josh Jacobs Seeks to Seal Evidence in Wisconsin Battery Case

Amarillo, TX, October 15, 2026 —

Packers running back Josh Jacobs has filed a lawsuit in Brown County Circuit Court in Wisconsin seeking to permanently seal evidence in his battery case against the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department.

The filing seeks a permanent restriction on access to evidence connected with the case. The information provided does not identify the evidence Jacobs wants sealed or explain the legal grounds cited in the lawsuit.

Further details about the case were not provided, including when the lawsuit was filed, what events led to the battery case, whether any charges or allegations have been made, and what stage the matter has reached. The available information also does not specify whether the police department or any other party has responded, or whether the court has scheduled a hearing or issued a ruling.

It is therefore unclear from the information provided what practical effect Jacobs is seeking beyond permanently sealing the evidence, or how the request may affect the underlying case. No decision by the court was reported.

The lawsuit was filed in Brown County Circuit Court, but the specific case number and the names of any additional parties were not provided. The details available are limited to Jacobs’ request and the department identified in connection with the case.
