Former Alabama running back Trent Richardson arrested in Hoover
Former Alabama running back Trent Richardson was arrested in Hoover on a domestic violence charge.
Hoover police responded at 8:04 p.m. Thursday to a 911 call reporting a possible domestic disturbance at the Hyatt Place Hotel on John Hawkins Parkway.
A second call was received at 8:05 p.m., reporting yelling coming from one of the guest rooms, said Hoover police Capt. Gregg Rector. Responding officers arrived on scene at 8:08 p.m. and were escorted to the source of the disturbance by a hotel employee.
Officers were able to make contact with an adult male - later identified as Richardson - and adult female who were involved in a domestic altercation, Rector said.
After interviewing both of them, officers determined the two had been arguing earlier while at the Walmart on John Hawkins Parkway. The dispute then apparently continued after they arrived back at the hotel.
At some point the situation turned physical, Rector said, and the female sustained injuries - scratches and bruising- to her face.
Hoover Fire Department paramedics were dispatched to check the victim's injuries. She was treated on the scene and required no further medical attention. Her name has not been released.
Richardson, 26, is charged with third-degree domestic violence. He remains in the Hoover City Jail with bond set at $1,000. No court date has yet been set.
