LSU OL Jevonte Domond Arrested for Alleged Felony Domestic Abuse

Jevonte Domond, a back-up offensive lineman at LSU, was arrested for alleged felony domestic violence in Baton Rouge on Monday. The Advocate details:

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 “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” and she “almost blacked out.” At some point during the argument, Domond allegedly grabbed a bandana from his fiancée’s 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. Following the fight, the fiancée drove to a Sheriff’s Office substation. Domond followed her, but he did not turn into the substation parking lot when she did, the report says. At least one person witnessed the fight, the report says.

Domond denied biting and strangling his fiancée, and said that she had pulled a knife on him earlier in the day (which she later said was in self-defense). Les Miles offered a boilerplate statement and said that Domond, who appeared in one game for LSU last season, is suspended from the team.
