Justin Watkins, incoming freshman and 4-star recruit of the UF football team, was arrested in Marion County, Florida, Wednesday and is being charged with a misdemeanor count of “trespassing upon grounds of a public school facility.”

Following an altercation with a female high school student in which he shattered her phone screen, Watkins followed the student to Vanguard High School in Ocala. She pulled into a parking space, and Watkins, driving a white SUV, pulled in directly behind her.

The graduate of East Ridge High School proceeded to kick the student’s car and attempted to deflate one the tires.
