Davante Adams watched the video and was not happy with what he saw. He tweeted that "Zac Stacy needs to be thrown under the jail."
Normally, one would say, "he needs to be thrown into jail." However, Adams' phrasing indicates that simply putting him in jail is not enough.
I’m not retweeting the video but ZAC STACY NEED TO BE THROWN UNDER THE JAIL. Any man that puts his hands on a woman is a coward. Can’t believe what I just saw.
It is unclear what else he expects to be done, but he is clear in stating that simply putting the ex-Ram behind bars is not good enough. The victim called the police after Stacy left, but he fled the scene before the police arrived.
According to TMZ, the woman is in the process of filing to get a restraining order.
