Former Florida Gators defensive lineman Caleb Brantley has been charged with a battery after fighting with a woman earlier this month, according to Alachua County court records.

Brantley was initially listed as the victim in a Gainesville Police Department report after an early-morning altercation on April 13. But he was charged Friday with misdemeanor battery.

According to court documents, the incident began when Brantley made crude comments about the woman. She pushed Brantley, who then punched her and knocked her unconscious. The blow -- from a closed fist, according to one witness in the report -- displaced a tooth and will require a root canal.
