Freshman safety Avantae Williams was dismissed from the Miami Hurricanes football program Thursday afternoon after he was arrested Wednesday night for multiple domestic violence charges. His dismissal comes shortly after being suspended from all team activities Thursday morning.
According to his arrest report issued by the Miami-Dade Police Department, Williams faces three counts of aggravated battery of a pregnant person. The victim, several months into her pregnancy, is Williams’s ex-girlfriend and Williams is the father of the unborn child.
Miami-Dade police say that the altercation between Williams and his former partner took place after an argument in their Kendall apartment, in which Williams left the apartment and told the victim she needed to leave the home by the time he returned.
