Texas men's basketball coach Chris Beard was arrested Monday morning on a felony domestic violence charge.
Beard, 49, is currently going through the booking process at the Travis County jail, according to Kristen Dark, senior public information officer for Travis County Sheriff's Office.
"He is in our custody," Dark told ESPN. "I can confirm he is the person who is in our booking process."
Beard was arrested by police in Austin, Texas, and has been booked on a charge of third-degree assault of a family member "impede breath circulation" or strangulation.
Austin police told ESPN they received a "disturbance hotshot" call, and officers were dispatched to the 1900 block of Vista Lane shortly after midnight Monday.
