Florida International tight end Jonnu Smith’s college career has come to an end.
According to the Miami Herald, Smith will not play again this season after he suffered “severe” burns from an incident with his girlfriend. Police say Smith has burns on his head, neck, back, shoulder and arm after his girlfriend poured boiling water onto him.
His girlfriend, Mary Gaspar, has been charged with aggravated battery. She is five months pregnant with Smith’s child.
From the Herald:
The arrest affidavit said Gaspar gave this account at Florida International University police headquarters:
The two argued through the day over the attention Smith was paying her and their relationship. While in Smith’s dorm room and “feeling extremely emotional and stressed,” she told police, she boiled a pot of water. Then, she walked over to Smith and poured it on him.
When Smith didn’t react strongly enough for her, she started hitting him with her open hands, she told police. The extent of the burns aren’t known, but Smith has been seen back on campus even though he’s not fit for the football field.
