Harris was booked on charges of aggravated domestic assault/strangulation after his girlfriend alleged he pushed her against a wall, threw her on a bed and began to strangle her Thursday morning. Police arrested Harris that evening and officers noticed scratches on the victim.
Ten days earlier, Harris had been dismissed from the Iowa State football team for a violation of unspecified team rules.
Harris was considered one of the team’s potential standout receivers before suffering a season-ending broken leg in September. At the time of his injury, Harris had nine catches for 55 yards, which tied for second on the team.
The school had not publicly announced Harris’ dismissal and it only came out after his arrest.
