UF's Deoindre Porter arrested, accused of firing gun toward pregnant girlfriend

— -- GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida freshman defensive back Deiondre Porter was suspended indefinitely after police arrested him on four felony charges after he allegedly held a gun to his pregnant girlfriend's head and also shot in her direction.

Porter, one of the team's top special teams players, was arrested Wednesday on aggravated assault charges.

According to the Alachua County police report, Porter faces one charge of aggravated battery (second-degree felony), one charge of firing a weapon into a vehicle or building (third-degree felony) and two charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill (third-degree felony).

He also was charged with property damage of less than $200, a second-degree misdemeanor.

The Gators announced his suspension on Twitter, and coach Jim McElwain addressed it on the Southeastern Conference coaches call.

"He's no longer with the football team," McElwain said. "He's suspended indefinitely for obviously a choice. It's his choice not to be with us. I'm sure you'll read about it soon enough. It's one of those things that we don't obviously condone. Like I said, it was his choice."
