KaVontae Turpin’s attorney: New Mexico incident was ‘disagreement between two adults’

Former TCU standout returner KaVontae Turpin is facing two domestic violence charges that ended his college career, but the attorney representing Turpin on charges brought against him last March says he’s optimistic about Turpin’s case.

“I’ve reviewed the case carefully and I do not believe the evidence supports a conviction for any type of crime,” said Rudy Chavez, an Albuquerque-based attorney.

“All my interactions with KaVontae say he’s a fine young man, and he’ll get this behind him very shortly.”

Chavez is only representing Turpin on his Las Cruces, New Mexico, charges. It’s unclear who Turpin has retained as his attorney for his arrest on alleged assault in Fort Worth last month.
