Wednesday’s arrest on a domestic violence warrant from August got FIU junior running back Shawndarrius Phillips left home when the team traveled Monday for Friday’s Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl, according to a report from the Associated Press.
After landing in the Bahamas, FIU athletic department spokesman Tyson Rodgers wrote in an e-mail to the Miami Herald, ““As a policy, we do not comment on travel parties.”
As of Monday morning, Phillips remained on the bowl roster at FIUsports.com. FIU plays Toledo at 12:30 p.m. Friday.
He remained on the regular-season roster, playing 11 games and starting five after a Broward County Circuit Court issued an arrest warrant in August stemming from an ex-girlfriend’s June accusation.
