Joe Burrow breaks silence on house burglaries, says ‘lack of privacy’ is ‘hard to deal with’.
Court documents added that authorities found “an old LSU jersey and a Bengals hat believed to be stolen from a robbery that occurred on December 9, 2024, in Hamilton County, Ohio.” Burrow played college football at LSU and currently resides in Hamilton County.
A search of the suspect’s vehicle turned up “two Husky automatic transmissions wrapped in a cloth towel.” The device was used by a South American robbery group, according to authorities.
The four suspects have been charged with corruption, participation in a criminal gang, possession of criminal tools and obstruction of business.
Ponton called her mother, Diane Ponton, who called 911 to report the break-in in progress, deputies reported.
“Somebody’s trying to break into the house right now,” Diane Ponton is heard saying in the recorded 911 call. “My daughter’s over there. This is Joe Burrow’s house. She lives there. He’s at the football game. She’s wondering what to do, if she should hide or go out.”
Burrow broke his silence a few days after the incident, saying he felt “violated” by the situation.
“So obviously everybody heard what happened. I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one. And there’s a lot more out there than I want and care to share. Talk about it,” Brown said at a scheduled media briefing in December.
We live a public life, and one of my favorite parts of it is the lack of privacy. And that has been difficult for me to deal with my entire career. I’m still learning. But I understand that life is what we choose. It doesn’t make it any easier to deal with.
