William Mohan was originally suspended after his arrest in August

Mohan is facing an aggravated domestic assault charge following a Sunday arrest, according to the Knoxville News-Sentinel’s Mike Wilson. A Volunteers spokesperson said he’s been suspended indefinitely as a result.

The incident occurred Sunday night and Mohan was arrested the next day following an arrest warrant, according to WVLT-TV. Officers were called to a domestic disturbance, but Mohan was gone by the time they arrived on the scene. The victim told police she invited Mohan over, but he was drunk and allegedly choked her. He ended up coming back and passed out on the couch, and the victim used his phone to try and get him a ride home, WVLT reported.

“We are aware of the recent arrest of football student-athlete William Mohan,” the spokesperson said in a statement, via Wilson. “He was immediately suspended indefinitely from all team activities.”
