Police reportedly found "an old LSU shirt and Bengals hat, believed to be stolen from the December 9, 2024 burglary in Hamilton County" while searching the suspects' black Chevrolet Blazer during a traffic violation on January 10, according to the report. Burrow, who won a national championship and Heisman Trophy at LSU in 2019, was reported to have been the victim of a break-in on the same date, though his name is not included in the report.

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Olivia Ponton reported the burglary at Burrow's home, which outed their relationship following media coverage.

"Feel like I'll start out by saying something before any questions today," Burrow said while addressing the situation publicly for the first time on December 11. "So obviously everybody has heard what has happened. I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one, and way more is already out there than I would want out there and that I care to share. So that's all I got to say about that."

Ponton reportedly noticed a "shattered bedroom window and the room ransacked" and called her mother, who then contacted police.

"[Olivia] is wondering what she should do, if she should be hiding or if she should be going outside," her mother said in police audio.

"Someone broke into my house ... It’s like completely messed up," Olivia, herself, later said in a separate call.

The incident took place two months after Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce were the victims of similar incidents hours apart.

A burglary at Mahomes' Belton, Missouri, estate was reported "at around midnight on October 6," according to Cass County Sheriff's Office documents obtained by the website. Kelce's Leawood, Kansas, mansion was reportedly broken into hours later on October 7, prior to the Chiefs' Monday Night Football win against the New Orleans Saints.
