Suspended Baylor defensive back Travon Blanchard is in trouble once again.

The 22-year-old Blanchard, who has been suspended indefinitely from team activities pending an investigation into domestic violence accusations against him, was arrested and charged with assault family violence after an alleged incident involving his girlfriend, McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara said, via Waco, Texas, television station KWTX.

According to police, Blanchard's warrant for arrest was issued out of Fort Bend County outside of Houston, but he was arrested at his home near the main Waco campus.

Baylor said in a statement released following Blanchard's arrest Tuesday the school is aware of his latest arrest.

"Travon Blanchard was suspended from all team activities immediately after learning of allegations made against him in February," the statement read. "That status has not changed and he has had no involvement with the program since that time. The university is aware of the arrest made today in connection with the previous allegations against Blanchard and will monitor the developments of this charge for any additional decision regarding his affiliation as a student-athlete."

Baylor's statement is reffering to a protective order issued against Blanchard and filed in February leading to his suspension. The order, issued by a McClennan County judge, says Blanchard engaged in multiple acts of violence against a woman with whom he had a relationship and that there was a "threat of family violence in the future."

Those incidents allegedly dated back to at least July of last year, according to the affidavit, which also states that Blanchard controlled "many aspects of the applicant’s life."

Blanchard, a 6-2, 205-pound nickelback, has started the last two seasons for the Bears and was the team's fourth-leading tackler last season as a junior.

This is another stain on a Baylor football program rocked last year by a sexual assault scandal, in which at least 52 acts of rapes were said to occur over a four-year period and involved at least 31 football players, according to a lawsuit filed against the school.
