Dunn's girlfriend told a 911 operator Sunday afternoon he hit her in the face and choked her, telling the dispatcher, "My boyfriend hit me really bad."

"My lip is bleeding and I have a black eye," she added.

The 911 call was obtained by the Columbus Dispatch and, while Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer didn't say why the senior running back was dismissed, it would seem the alleged assault was a factor.
