The police incident report describes an intense encounter.
A woman awoke to find her former boyfriend, USC defensive back Javon Charleston, in the room where she was sleeping, according to the report. She told police she eventually ran from the home, but Charleston caught up with her and grabbed her by the neck, called her a "dirty slut" and pushed her down some stairs.
He then took her phone, the June 17 report said.
But the woman, Sophia Thomas, 19, told The State the incident was more complicated than that. Charleston is not a criminal, she says.
