Former Florida Gators running back Adarius Lemons, who quit the team after UF’s loss to the Kentucky Wildcats on Sept. 8, is being held in the Alachua County Jail after his arrest Wednesday. Lemons, 21, is facing a third-degree felony charge of battery by strangulation and first-degree misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal mischief.
His bond is set at $65,000.
According to a Gainesville Police Department sworn complaint affidavit, Lemons was in a relationship with the alleged victim for seven or eight years. The affidavit states Lemons and the woman had an argument on Sept. 21 at Social 28, a student apartment complex in Gainesville, during which Lemons slammed the victim’s iPhone 8+ on the ground, causing the screen to break.
