OXFORD -- Ole Miss All-American left tackle Laremy Tunsil was arrested Thursday night in Oxford on charges of domestic violence against his stepfather, Rebels coach Hugh Freeze confirmed on Saturday.
Tunsil turned himself into authorities, Freeze said, after he allegedly defended his mother, Desiree Tunsil, against his stepfather, Lindsey Miller.
Freeze said that Tunsil and his mother have pressed charges against Miller. An Oxford Police Department spokesperson could not confirm if the Tunsils have indeed filed charges.
"Laremy realizes he could have handled it differently," Freeze said in a statement. "I am proud for him standing up to his mother and protecting his family."
An Oxford Police Department spokesperson said Tunsil's arrest report would not be made available until Monday.
According to a report from ESPN, Tunsil was at his mother's home when the incident occurred. Miller shoved Tunsil's mom, and in response Tunsil punched his stepfather, a source told Brett McMurphy.
"As we gather more facts, we will act and make decision accordingly," Freeze said.
The 6-foot-5, 305-pound junior was an All-SEC selection last season and has been tabbed a preseason All-American by a host of media outlets this summer.
ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. projected Tunsil being the second overall in his first "big board" for the 2016 NFL draft.
More coming soon.
