Former LSU star Derrius Guice was released by the Washington Football Team on Friday after he was arrested on multiple counts relating to alleged domestic violence.
On Monday, some of the ugly details that led to Guice’s arrest were reported in The Washington Post by Justin Jouvenal and Nicki Jhabvala.
Guice, who was charged with one count of strangulation, one count of destruction of property and three counts of assault and battery.
The strangulation charge stems from an incident that allegedly occurred in Guice’s home in March. Per the documents, Guice allegedly strangled his girlfriend until she was unconscious. When she awoke, Guice was crying and tapping her.

In a February incident, Guice allegedly pushed his girlfriend to the ground in the bedroom bathroom of his home. This caused an injury to her left thumbnail.
The third assault and battery charged stems from an incident in April when Guice pushed the woman onto the ground outside of his Virginia home.
The destruction of property charge came when Guice took the woman’s phone and threw it in the street, where it shattered.
The woman took pictures of the injuries she suffered in all three of the incidents.
