Baylor guard LaceDarius Dunn arrested, suspended following aggravated assault accusations

? Baylor indefinitely suspended leading scorer LaceDarius Dunn on Tuesday after he surrendered to police to face an aggravated assault charge accusing him of breaking his girlfriend’s jaw during an argument last week.

According to Waco police, officers were called to Hillcrest Hospital on Sept. 27 to investigate an assault on Lacharlesia Edwards, 21. Police said Edwards and Dunn, identified as her boyfriend, had gotten into an argument and that he punched her in the face.

“We look forward to reviewing the file and working with the district attorney’s office,” Dunn’s attorney, Vikram Deivanayagam, said in a statement.

Bears coach Scott Drew said Dunn, a senior guard, has been indefinitely suspended from “all team activities.”

Baylor said in a release that the university was working to gather facts and was fully cooperating with authorities. The school said there would be no further comment.

The woman’s father, Charles Edwards, told The Associated Press from his home in Monroe, La., that his daughter didn’t have a broken jaw and that “somebody down there is trying to make a story out of nothing.”

The elder Edwards said his daughter was “laughing and giggling” when he went to Waco after the alleged attack. He said the couple have known each other since elementary school and have a 3-year-old son together.

“If something would have happened to my daughter, I would probably be in jail right now in Waco because I probably would have done something to that young man,” said Charles Edwards, who said his daughter is in Monroe. “In this case, she said they were playing, and that’s it.”
