LSU offensive lineman Jevonte Domond was arrested on a felony domestic abuse charge Monday.

Per the Baton Rouge Advocate, the charge is felony domestic abuse with strangulation involving an alleged incident with his fiancée

From the Advocate:

According to a Sheriff’s Office report, an argument occurred Monday afternoon between Domond and his fiancée. During the dispute, while she was leaning over the crib of their “newborn baby,” Domond allegedly “grabbed her from behind by the neck,” lifted her off the ground and dropped her, the report says.

The woman told deputies she “began to lose consciousness,” the report says, and she “almost blacked out.” At some point during the argument, Domond allegedly grabbed a bandana from his fiancées head. In response, she sprayed him with pepper spray, the report says.

The woman told deputies Domond then picked her up and “slammed her on the couch,” the report says. She also told them Domond bit her on her hip, prompting her to spray him again with pepper spray, the report says.

Domond was arrested Monday afternoon and was still in jail according to court records. He also reportedly denies the accusations and said she pulled a knife on him earlier in the day. According to the police report, she said she did it in self defense.

Domond was a backup for LSU last season and appeared in one game. He's been suspended from the team.

Domond signed with LSU before the 2014 season out of Glendale Community College in Arizona. He was a four-star recruit, per Rivals. He was one of the top offensive tackle recruits in the 2014 junior college class and played just one season of high school football at Maricopa High School in Arizona.
