Sophomore UF defensive back John Huggins was accused of choking a female tutor in October, according to a UPD report uncovered this week by the Tampa Bay Times.

The alleged incident happened after the tutor took Huggins’ phone to ensure he wouldn’t leave early, according to the Times. The 19-year-old student filed a police report but did not elect to press charges.
