The Knoxville News Sentinel reports University of Tennessee defensive lineman Ryan Thaxton was arrested last night and charged with domestic assault and false imprisonment of his girlfriend according to online court records.
Records indicate Thaxton pushed his girlfriend toward his room when she refused to accompany him to his dorm. Thaxton then carried her inside the room, where an argument took place, and he blocked the door when she attempted to leave, according to records.
Arraignment is scheduled for July 23rd on both charges. The Alexandria, VA native did not play last season.
