The University of Michigan’s football team cut senior defensive end Frank Clark on Monday after he was arrested for domestic abuse over the weekend. Police apprehended Clark outside of a hotel in Sandusky, Ohio, after a fight with his girlfriend. Cops charged him with one count of misdemeanor domestic violence and one count of assault. (He pleaded not guilty to both on Monday.) Clark appeared intoxicated, according to the police report. “I didn’t do [expletive] to her, I didn’t touch that woman, she is a woman,” he said. Girlfriend Diamond Hurt reportedly had a welt on her cheek, bruises on her neck, and a scuff burn on her right hip. Her younger brother said he saw Clark grab her by the throat. Hurt said she bit Clark on the nose, and then he “punched her in the face.” Police said she did not initially want to press charges, but officers told her there were clear signs of domestic abuse and he would be charged.
