Ballerific Sports:TCU Devonte Fields Arrested For Punching And Pointing Gun At Girlfriend

TCU defensive end Devonte Fields is a suspect in a domestic disturbance case after an incident early Sunday morning, in Fort Worth, Texas.

No formal charges have been filed at this time. However, the news comes just days after Fields was named the league’s preseason defensive player of the year.

Fields had allegedly left the scene before officers’ arrival, according to a Fort Worth police report.

There, 20-year-old Haley Brown told officers that Fields had apparently been standing outside the bedroom window listening to her talk to a mutual male friend. Brown told police Fields then punched out the window of their friend’s bedroom from the outside and began yelling at her. “Haley stated that she thought Devonte was holding a gun in one of his hands and stated that he pointed it at her,” the report states. “I should blast you!” he yelled at Haley, according to the report. The report states Fields then came to the home’s front door and was let inside by their mutual friend’s roommate. “Haley stated that Devonte continued to yell at her and punched her in the face one time with a closed fist,” the report states Officers observed Haley’s right cheek to be swollen with a small cut under her eye. She refused to be taken to the hospital for further evaluation and told officers she did not want to pursue charges against Fields.

Earlier today, TCU announced that Devonte Fields has been “separated” from the school “pending results of an investigation into allegations against him.”

This is truly sad to see another young man throw away his future over a irresponsible action. Hopefully he gets his anger under control and can rebuild.
