By Sam Combest —
University of Louisville football player Kemari Averett was arrested Oct. 15 on charges of first-degree wanton endangerment and fourth-degree assault for a domestic violence incident.
The charges against Averett came after he allegedly held a BB-gun to a woman’s head and threatened to kill her, according to Louisville Metro Police Department reports.
Averett, 20, is a sophomore tight end on the football team. He was suspended indefinitely pending investigation, but has since been barred from campus and kicked out of his university-affiliated, off-campus apartment, his attorney Aubrey Williams said.
