Police said officers called to Guion's Green Bay home on Sept. 26, 2021 found a woman "intoxicated and incoherent due to her injuries sustained from Letroy physically assaulting her."
Guion told officers he and the woman had been drinking and admitted she might be hurt and said he "lost it a little bit."
The woman, who was treated for an injury to her eye, told officers she had lived with Guion for five years and that they have two children.
Guion said Tuesday that he and the woman have since married. He apologized to her, the Green Bay Packers and the Green Bay community.
"I am deeply embarrassed and ashamed about this. I’m ashamed because ... how could I let this happen? How could I do this to the woman I love?" he said. "In conclusion, I am a loving father who made a very big mistake, and I know in life there are consequences."
