Greg Bartram-US PRESSWIRE

Ohio State announced Monday evening the dismissal of running back Bri'onte Dunn from the program for a violation of team rules.

Although Urban Meyer didn't go into detail as what the violation was, reports emerged Tuesday evening that Dunn had a physical altercation with his girlfriend in which he hit her in the face and choked her. Courtesy of WBNS-10TV Columbus, Dunn's girlfriend told this to dispatchers:

"He hit me the first time at 4:40. I left. Then I was just calling my friend and see if I could sleep somewhere and nobody answered. So I made a circle back around and came back here and he was still here. So I came upstairs and I said you need to leave before I call the cops. He saw that I had my phone out cause I was going to try to record it because this isn’t the first time that this has happened and that’s when he started going crazy."

Though no criminal charges have been laid against Dunn, his girlfriend did file for a civil-protection order against Dunn.
