Former Utes running back Tavion Thomas charged with multiple counts of aggravated assault and aggravated kidnapping following incident with his girlfriend.
Court documents show police responded to the home that Thomas, 23, and his girlfriend share on March 5 after the two had an argument. According to his girlfriend, Thomas took her phone and pulled a knife on her.
When she asked for her phone back and said she would call the police, Thomas' girlfriend said he replied,"You'll be dead before the police arrive," while still holding the knife. The next morning, Thomas' girlfriend was preparing to leave for the airport when he again took her phone and keys while holding the same knife. She said he refused to give her back the phone unless he took her to the airport and shared her location with him on the phone.
The woman told police that Thomas had been physically abusive to her throughout their relationship and alleged that he had hit her before.
