According to authorities, they received a 911 call at 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday in reference to an alleged domestic violence incident involving Bradford.

The victim says she was assaulted by Bradford several times over the past couple of days and when officers arrived at the scene they noted she had obvious injuries.

Bradford was the second-string running back and ran only five times for 16 yards this season for the Wildcats.
