Former USC wide receiver Victor Blackwell was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of domestic violence.
DPS responded to a call at 6:21 pm at University Gateway Apartments from a student who said that "her boyfriend...also punched her several times in the face during an argument and threw a chair at her," according to the DPS report. The report says that the boyfriend "also smashed her laptop computer and cellular phone on the floor and punched several holes in a door when she retreated into her bedroom and closed it."
