Former Florida Gators defensive tackle Caleb Brantley has been charged with misdemeanor battery stemming from an incident at a Gainesville bar on April 13, as first reported by Patrick Pinak of The Independent Florida Alligator on Sunday.
Brantley’s involvement in the incident was reported on the morning of April 13, with a police report released at that time indicating that he and a woman, Chelsea Austin, were involved in a verbal dispute that turned physical, with Austin and Brantley both telling police that she struck him first and a friend of Austin alleging that Brantley punched her in the mouth, leaving her with a cut on her lip and blood near a tooth.
