University of Tennessee cornerback Bryce Thompson has been suspended indefinitely after being arrested and jailed Saturday night after he was accused of assaulting his girlfriend. The woman told police an argument ensued after she found fake eyelashes that weren’t hers in Thompson’s dorm
room.
Witnesses said Thompson told the woman he would slap her and that he would “shoot up the school.” Investigators say Thompson acknowledged arguing with the woman but denied making physical contact with her or issuing any threats.
Thompson led the Volunteers with three interceptions and seven pass breakups as a freshman last season.
