Boykin was indicted Friday in Fort Worth and is free on bond. He denies the allegations
Former Texas Christian University quarterback Trevone Boykin has been formally charged with aggravated assault for allegedly attacking his girlfriend and breaking her jaw at his home in March.
Boykin was indicted Friday in Fort Worth and is free on bond. He denies the allegations.
Prosecutors say the attack was captured on security system video at Boykin’s home in Mansfield.
The Seattle Seahawks released the 24-year-old Boykin from the team’s practice squad shortly after reports of the attack surfaced.
In March, Shabrika Bailey told WFAA-TV in Dallas that Boykin broke her jaw in three places and choked her until she passed out.
The Mansfield Police Department said in a statement they have video of the alleged assault on March 20 from a surveillance system inside Bailey’s home in Mansfield.
Bailey told WFAA-TV the encounter happened after she refused to show Boykin a text message on her phone, and the resulting injuries left her hospitalized for three days.

In March, Boykins then-girlfriend Shabrika Bailey told WFAA-TV in Dallas that Boykin broke her jaw in three places and choked her until she passed out
Speaking with her broken jaw wired shut in March, Bailey also said she had two of her teeth knocked out by Boykin during the alleged assault.
‘I remember him choking me and I’m trying to calm him down,’ she said. ‘And I just couldn’t. And I blacked out. I just couldn’t calm him down at all.
After being named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year in 2014, Boykin signed as an undrafted free agent with the Seahawks in 2016 before splitting the 2017 season between Seattle’s 53-man roster and the practice squad
‘The pressure was just hard. The pressure got hard to where I just remember just collapsing completely. And I just woke up in a puddle of blood on the kitchen floor. My whole right side was full of blood on the kitchen floor.’
Bailey told WFAA that Boykin asked her not to tell police of the encounter because it could threaten his football career.
She also said Boykin made the same request after an incident in March 2017, when Bailey and Boykin were arrested after a car she was driving struck several pedestrians outside of a nightclub in a Dallas suburb. Bailey told WFAA that Boykin attacked her and choked her, causing her to lose control of the vehicle.
‘He leaned over, attacked me, and choked me unconscious which made the car go into drive to reverse,’ she said
When asked why she didn’t report the attack last March, Bailey told WFAA that she was ‘scared.’
‘Terrified of everything,’ she said.
Bailey was arrested on charges of intoxication assault, while Boykin was arrested for public intoxication and possession of marijuana after he initially fled on foot.
According to WFAA, Bailey and Boykin have been a relationship since high school.
Boykin was previously arrested on December 31, 2015, two days before he was to play in his final game for TCU in the Alamo Bowl, when he allegedly punched a San Antonio patrol officer. He was also charged for public intoxication and resisting arrest.
He pled no contest and received a year’s probation, a $1,500 fine and 80 hours of community service.
After being named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year in 2014, Boykin signed as an undrafted free agent with the Seahawks in 2016 before splitting the 2017 season between Seattle’s 53-man roster and the practice squad.
He was released by the Seahawks after the abuse allegations came to light in March.
