Olivia Ponton, the Sports Illustrated model who lives with Joe, discovered the crime when she arrived at the house. She immediately called her mother, which led to a call to 911 reporting the incident.

When law enforcement responded, they found evidence of forced entry into the first floor window and observed that the room was in disarray. The Criminal Intelligence Section took photographs and collected forensic evidence from the scene.

In his statement to the police, Joe Burrow explained that he was not present at the time of the burglary because he was out of town for a game. He was unable to provide details about what items were taken from the house. Olivia Ponton, who is employed by Joe, also made a brief statement but did not disclose specific information about missing items.

The investigation is ongoing, with police contacting Joe’s neighbors in an effort to collect surveillance footage that may help identify the perpetrator. Neither Joe nor Olivia has publicly commented on the incident, and requests for comment from their representatives have thus far gone unanswered.

This burglary follows a recent series of break-ins involving NFL players. In October, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s mansion in Leawood, Kansas was burgled, and quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ estate in Belton, Missouri was also targeted. During the robbery at Travis Kelce’s home, $20,000 in cash was stolen, and the backdoor was damaged.

Patrick Mahomes spoke publicly about the experience during a press conference on November 13, describing it as “frustrating” and “disappointing.” He chose not to discuss specific details because of the ongoing investigation.
