The details revealed that Thomas had left his house earlier that day following a dispute with his wife about his drinking. Seth Thomas, his brother, picked him up, but Nina, his wife, became suspicious and checked his Snapchat account to learn where he was.
Things start to spiral out of control at this point because Nina allegedly gathered a group of friends and went to confront Earl and Seth where they were having s*x. Earl, a seven-time Pro Bowler, reportedly managed to pull Nina’s 9mm Beretta away from her.

Police statement on the incident
According to the police records, Thomas was holding the gun and Nina was brandishing a knife when the authorities arrived on the scene. Police report that when they arrived, they observed that a black female wearing an orange jumper with a knife in her hand, later identified as Nina Thomas, was chasing a shirtless black male, later identified as Earl Thomas, with a pistol in his hand around a vehicle.
There is now a video of that precise incident, in which Nina and Earl are confronted by cops in the parking lot. Earl can be heard telling the authorities, “This is my wife; she caught me cheating,” on the footage. The occurrence happened on April 13, 2020.
Statement from Nina
Officers’ body cameras later showed Nina detailing the events in detail after they happened. In the course of the conversation, she explained that her spouse left the house since they were having trouble. He went out all weekend, on and off and said that he was hanging out with some friends.
Since they had problems in the past, she didn’t believe that. Later, she discovered his position here after hacking his Snapchat. Even though she texted and phoned she wasn’t sure which room it was until she saw images and realised the lights were familiar. The door was open when she just so happened to turn the doorknob.
Nina, who was bleeding from a cut on her hand, also admitted to the police that she had taken Earl’s revolver to the scene in an effort to frighten him. Although she said that she had taken the knife from the Airbnb during the argument, she asserted that it was not loaded. After all of this, Nina was ultimately taken into custody. However, after numerous court appearances, her lawsuit was ultimately dismissed. Earl Thomas wasn’t detained or faced with any charges as a result of the incident.
