Former Florida cornerback Wondy Pierre-Louis turned himself in to Gainesville authorities early Tuesday morning and was arrested on charges of domestic battery by strangulation, unarmed burglary, battery, kidnapping and obstructing justice by tampering.
Pierre-Louis — who turned himself in at 2:16 a.m. according to Alachua County Jail records — was being sought by police after being accused of pinning a girlfriend against a countertop and choking her on Sunday morning, when he allegedly entered her home and found her with another person who fled the scene.
His bond was set at $185,000.
Pierre-Louis had just completed his senior season with the football team and was working toward a degree in Sociology. The turmoil comes soon after he discovered that his family’s home in Haiti was destroyed during last week’s earthquake.
