Demond Demas, Texas A&M WR, arrested after alleged assault

Demond Demas Fumer Cup

Demond Demas, Texas A&M wide receiver, was arrested on an assault/family violence charge after allegedly injuring his girlfriend Saturday, according to a probable cause affidavit from the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office.

According to the affidavit, he allegedly initiated a verbal argument with his girlfriend before it escalated into a physical altercation, with Demas pushing her head into the wall. She told officers she then bit him on his shoulder, at which point he grabbed her and threw her off the bed and onto the floor, which caused her front teeth to go through her bottom lip.

“The injury caused bleeding, loose teeth, swelling and a hole to the bottom lip,” the affidavit said.

Brazos County jail records show that Demond Demas was arrested and released on $5,000 bond on Wednesday.

A Texas A&M spokesman said Demond Demas, who was the No. 47 recruit in the ESPN 300 for the Class of 2020, has been suspended by the university and is not currently with the football program while the athletics department follows school protocol.

Ainias Smith, Texas A&M football player, arrested on weapons/pot charge

Ainias Smith Fulmer Cup

Texas A&M wide receiver Ainias Smith was arrested early on Wednesday ahead of his scheduled appearance at SEC Media Days, according to multiple reports.

Ainias Smith was arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated, unlawful carrying of a weapon, and marijuana possession (less than two ounces).

The 21-year-old wide receiver was booked in the Brazos County Jail after his arrest by Texas A&M university police.

Smith led the Aggies with 47 receptions and six touchdown catches a season ago for the 8-4 Aggies as a team captain.

He also placed second on the team with 509 receiving yards.

Ainias Smith has started 21 games for Texas A&M the past three seasons and has 112 career receptions for 1,321 and 15 total touchdowns. He added 373 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground.

The senior is expected to play a major role in the Texas A&M offense this coming season as the team looks to integrate a new starter at the quarterback position.

Smith’s experience and skill set will be key to developing the Aggies’ downfield passing game to complement what looks like a solid rushing attack behind center.

A&M is projected to finish second in the SEC West this season behind Alabama, but is scheduled to visit the Crimson Tide in a crucial matchup on Oct. 8.

The winner of that game should have a major advantage in the SEC standings and the College Football Playoff race.

Smith is the second Texas A&M player to be arrested this offseason after wide receiver Demond Demas, who was arrested on an assault/family violence charge and removed from the team before entering the transfer portal.
