Kentucky's Ashton Cobb suspended after arrest for making threats to ex-girlfriend

Kentucky strong safety Ashton Cobb has been suspended from the university after being arrested Friday for allegedly sending threatening text and voicemail messages to his ex-girlfriend.

Cobb, 21, is charged with second-degree stalking, third-degree terroristic threatening, and harassing communications.

He did not play in last Saturday's game against Western Kentucky.

Cobb’s ex-girlfriend said he called her about 19 times and sent about 15 text messages on Thursday, court records say. In one voicemail message he used profane language, saying he would kill and rape her.

He then sent a text message that read, “Why so serious?” referencing the Joker from the newest Batman movie, court records say.

Not I. And I am distressed that you think it is common.

Thats a typical day with my ex-wife. I bet i recieved double that daily from her for nearly 8 months.

I simply asked for a divorce, the threats then start.

Heres one of my favorite quotes from her:

"I am going to haunt you for the rest of your life", heres another good message i recieved while at work, "It is a husbands responsibility to do everything for his wife"

In our 50th divorce decree she once stated, "i had hit her", when i confronted her about it, stating i had never hit her, she said "yes you did, remember that time you hit me with a pillow".

Give the dude a break, it may be my exwife hes dealing with! LOL

err Ashton, you can't even threaten to give 'em across their lips anymore.

Fred Sanford would be sad. Aunt Ester would be glad.

To auttat:
Seems that you are in the minority in your thinking of how to interact with other people. I'm Married for 56 years to the same woman and harbor no disrespect to other people's feelings. Perhaps her rejection of your affections is justified? Will your name be the next one on the police blotter for domestic violence? I sincerely hope not
