Former UF RB Adarius Lemons in jail after Wednesday arrest

Former UF tailback Adarius Lemons, who quit the team following the Sept. 8 loss to Kentucky, is in Alachua County Jail following his arrest Wednesday.

Lemons is facing charges of battery by strangulation, a third-degree felony, battery and criminal mischief, each a first-degree misdemeanor.

The 21-year-old from Clearwater is being held on a bond of $65,000, according to records.

Lemons, a sophomore, was suspended for the season opener against Charleston Southern. A week later against Kentucky, Lemons returned two kickoffs for 47 yards. Frustrated he was not more involved in the game plan, Lemons announced on social media he planned to transfer but would remain in school this semester.
