Police say this Florida Gators recruit broke female's phone and kicked her car

Justin Watkins, signed with the University of Florida's football team and rated as the No. 16 wide receiver in the Class of 2018, was arrested Tuesday and released from jail Wednesday, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

The Tampa Bay Times obtained a probable cause affidavit detailing what Watkins, who is from Clermont and most recently played for East Ridge High, allegedly did.

Watkins and "an unnamed female had a verbal argument last week. Watkins then took her cell phone, left and later threw it on the ground, shattering its screen," the Tampa Bay Times reported.
