The woman who told police that Cleveland Browns offensive line coach Andy Moeller assaulted her said Moeller tried to "strangle" her, according to a 911 call released by Berea, Ohio, police.
A man, she said, "just tried to strangle me and beat me up and I'm leaving the premises and I've got to get out of here quickly," the woman said on the call.
The woman's voice shook constantly on the 5 minute, 21 second call. She said she was walking away from Moeller's home while she was talking to the 911 operator.
Asked if Moeller had ever been violent with her in the past, the woman answered, "I hate to say that, but, yeah, sure."
"I hate to do this to him," she said, "but I'm glad I made it out of there in time."
The woman said the argument began when she was on the phone talking to her son and Moeller told her "to shut up."
She said she was from Maryland and was visiting Moeller because he was "my fiance."
"Not anymore, though," she said.
She said she left the home with her suitcase and expressed concern she had missed the last flight back to Maryland.
"I kept telling him to stop and not to hurt me," she said. "I kept saying stop. At least I got out of the house."
A police report said the call came in at 9:06 p.m. on Saturday. She called police about midnight saying she wanted to file charges, then again at 7:55 a.m. Sunday saying she didn't.
The Berea prosecutor is reviewing evidence and will decide in a few days if Moeller will be charged.
The Browns suspended Moeller indefinitely on Monday.
