FSU QB Involved In He Said, She Said Dispute W/ Pregnant Girlfriend

Florida State quarterback Deondre Francois was involved in a domestic dispute with his pregnant girlfriend late Tuesday afternoon, according to officials.

No arrests were made, and no charges were filed after the incident. Officers say that after Francois, the woman, and another member of the FSU football team who was present all spoke to police. 

The corresponding officer was unable to establish probable cause to make an arrest for aggravated battery, according to the report.

Francois, a former Orlando Olympia High standout, called police to his apartment after an argument ensued between him and his girlfriend.

Francois allegedly told police she had begun to break items in the apartment, including a vase, and tried to rip a television off a wall. He tried to pick the woman up and take her outside of the apartment, but she began to swing at him.

Francois told police the woman started to rip her shirt while saying “I’m going to call the cops for domestic violence.”

The woman, who told police she is nine weeks pregnant, said she did not want Francois to get in “trouble, trouble.” But she did want the police to speak with Francois to “scare him a little,” according to the report.

The woman then asked police if Francois would get in trouble for smoking marijuana at the apartment before the incident.

The woman did not want to press charges against Francois, according to the report.

The dispute began because Francois was upset a friend tried to “talk to her,” the woman said in an incident report, while Francois told police it stemmed from a previous argument.

The woman told police she and Francois began dating about a year ago, and she had moved into his apartment roughly 6-7 months ago. Francois told police the woman previously told him she was pregnant, but did not provide documentation.

FSU running back Zaquandre White, who was at the apartment during the incident, told police the woman began breaking glasses, a vase, and she tried to break a television before locking herself in Francois’ room.

White told police Francois only touched the woman while trying to prevent her from breaking more items and defending himself when she “swung at him.”

The Florida State athletic department had no comment Wednesday when reached by the Orlando Sentinel regarding the incident.
