Texas basketball coach Chris Beard's fiancee, who called police to report a family violence assault, said Friday that Beard did not strangle her and she never wanted him arrested or prosecuted.
Beard was suspended indefinitely without pay after his Dec. 12 arrest on a felony charge of strangling his fiancée, Randi Trew, who lives with him.
In a statement sent to The Associated Press by her attorney, Randy Leavitt, Trew said she is"deeply saddened" by the incident and said Beard was acting in self-defense from her. "Chris and I are deeply saddened that we have brought negative attention upon our family, friends, and the University of Texas, among others. As Chris' fiancee and biggest supporter, I apologize for the role I played in this unfortunate event. I realize that my frustration, when breaking his glasses, initiated a physical struggle between Chris and myself," Trew said in the statement.
Leavitt confirmed that Trew, whose name was redacted by police from charging documents, agreed to be named publicly. He declined further comment. In a statement, the university said:"We are reviewing the statement from Randi Trew. This matter is the subject of an internal investigation and the university does not comment on pending investigations."Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
