More details are coming out about the situation involving Miami linebacker Deshawn Troutman.

Troutman was arrested shortly after a spring practice session and is accused of punching his girlfriend “all over her body.” However, FOX Sports’ Andy Slater reported Monday that Troutman’s girlfriend was also arrested. He said police found scratches on Troutman and they were allegedly cause by his girlfriend’s fists and hands.

Troutman is currently suspended indefinitely from all team activities as the situation continues to develop. He’s getting ready for his sophomore season after spending most of last year on special teams.

“We are aware that University of Miami football student-athlete Deshawn Troutman was arrested by the Miami-Dade Police Department on March 22,” the University of Miami said in a statement to Slater last week.
