Tennessee Volunteers defensive tackle Alexis Johnson was arrested Wednesday night after allegedly assaulting a woman in his apartment and subsequently was suspended from the team.

Johnson, 20, faces charges of aggravated assault and false imprisonment. The incident occurred early Sunday morning.

A Tennessee spokesman said that Johnson "has been suspended from all football activities."

Citing arrest warrants, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported that the alleged victim, who previously dated Johnson, told police she had been "play fighting" with Johnson in his apartment when things turned violent.

The woman told police that Johnson placed his hand around her throat and choked her to the point that she thought she was going to pass out. According to the warrants, a witness reported that Johnson "appeared to be really punching her" and that the woman's lip was "busted."

The report further stated that when the woman attempted to exit Johnson's bedroom, he blocked the door to prevent her from leaving.

Looks like Phatlock Fulmer might need to come out of retirement to sweep everything under the rug. He's good at that and has a lot of experience.

This doesn't bode well for them, considering the Title IX case mentioned in the article. This can become a PR nightmare quickly.
