The Florida State Attorney’s Office has released surveillance video allegedly showing Florida State University quarterback De’Andre Johnson punching a woman ;in the face during an argument ;last month. ;
The footage, which was captured at a Tallahassee bar on the night of June 24, shows Johnson, 19, striking a 21-year-old woman. According to court records, the altercation happened while the woman, a fellow Florida State student, was in line waiting for a drink from the bar.
The woman felt that Johnson pushed past her aggressively and when she addressed him at the bar, she raised her arm in defense, only to have Johnson grab and push her. Court records say that she kneed his midsection in retaliation and attempted to punch him before Johnson struck the left side of her face.
Johnson’s attack left the woman with facial cuts and bruises, according to court records. He reportedly left the bar after the incident. ; ;
;On June 25, Florida State indefinitely suspended Johnson, a freshman who early-enrolled in January to get a head start on the football team’s starting quarterback competition, in response to the initial allegations. Following the suspension, Johnson turned himself in to authorities on June 30 ;after a warrant for his arrest was issued. He was released on $500 bond the same day.
State Attorney Willie Meggs said on Monday that he has decided to charge Johnson with ;misdemeanor battery after viewing the footage. The victim has decided to move forward with battery charges as well.
“She’s a good witness and she wants to testify,” Meggs told the Tallahassee Democrat. “She’s a little nervous about it.”
Requests for comment from Florida State Athletics were not immediately returned on Monday. ;
