Washington Football Team star Derrius Guice has been arrested in Virginia on suspicion of domestic violence, TMZ Sports has learned.
The 23-year-old running back was taken into custody on Friday on multiple charges, including one count of felony strangulation, according to the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.
He's also facing 3 counts of assault and battery and 1 count of destruction of property.
Guice surrendered to the Loudoun Adult Detention Center around 5 PM, according to the Washington Post.
Records show Guice has since been released on bond.
Guice was a 2nd round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft -- but missed his entire rookie season due to an ACL tear in the preseason.
His 2019 was also plagued with knee injuries -- he was limited to just 5 games and only rushed for 245 yards.
But, the former LSU star has reportedly been working out like a maniac and many projected him to have a breakout year in 2020.
