Kansas running back Pooka Williams was arrested Thursday on suspicion of domestic battery, the Lawrence Journal-World reported.

Williams was named the Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year after rushing for 1,125 yards and seven touchdowns.

“We are aware of a reported incident involving Pooka Williams, and we are taking these allegations very seriously,” Kansas coach Les Miles said in a statement to ESPN. “We have suspended Pooka from all team-related activities pending further investigation.”  

According to a release from the KU office of public safety, an 18-year-old female student reported Thursday that she was in a “physical altercation” with a 19-year-old male early Wednesday morning at Stouffer Place Apartments. Chris J. Keary, KU’s director of public safety and chief of police, said he could not provide more details on the extent of that altercation.

The release stated that the 18-year-old female reported minor injuries that did not require medical attention. The 19-year-old male — Williams, based on the matching case numbers on the sheriff’s office logs — was interviewed and later arrested at the KU public safety office and booked into the Douglas County jail.

KU’s public safety office said its report would be forwarded to the Douglas County district attorney’s office.

In the offense report, the woman is listed as an acquaintance of Williams. The type of force alleged was “personal weapon,” meaning the use of a body part. Also, the type of injury was listed as “M,” which is an abbreviation for “apparent minor injury.”

He will make an initial appearance in Douglas County District Court on Friday afternoon, according to Kristen Channel of the Douglas County sheriff’s office. The online arrest log from Thursday stated Williams was being held without bond.
