Starting and disturbing details have emerged regarding the arrest and suspension of Louisville tight end Kemari Averett.

According to the Louisville Courier-Journal, Averett was arrested on one count of first-degree wanton endangerment and one count of domestic violence (fourth-degree assault). He is accused of holding a gun to his girlfriend’s head while threatening to kill her.

The girlfriend is also the mother of Averett’s child.

Averett has been suspended indefinitely from the football program.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal:

According to an arrest citation, Averett was at the woman’s house Sunday night to study and left his backpack. The woman went over to Averett’s apartment to return the backpack Monday night. He walked to the car and gave the woman a baby outfit and ultrasound pictures, according to the citation.

When he retrieved the backpack, he noticed his laptop was missing, the citation said.

She told Averett she wasn’t aware the laptop was missing. Police said Averett then came at the woman, put a gun to her left temple and said “(expletive), I will kill you.”

Averett then told her to return to her hometown, and “I’ll have my people looking for you,” police said. He also told a witness in the back seat that, “I should pistol whip youre (expletive) for running your mouth,” the citation said.

Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino issued a statement following Averett’s arrest.

“Kemari Averett has been suspended immediately from all football activities per further investigation,” Petrino said via a prepared statement. “He will not have access to our facility or be involved in any team activities during this suspension.”

Averett has played in four games for the Cardinals this season. He’s caught eight passes for 65 yards and two touchdowns.
