Now-former Arizona Wildcats running back Orlando Bradford was arrested Wednesday and immediately dismissed from the team. He is being held at Pima County Jail without bond.

On Thursday, a second woman came forward and alleged that Bradford had assaulted her multiple times in the past, according to a report from Tucson News Now.

Dugan said the police received a 911 call around 6:30 a.m. local time Wednesday regarding an alleged domestic violence incident.

“Earlier [Wednesday], we were made aware that Orlando Bradford had been arrested”, said Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez in a statement. Bradford was arrested shortly thereafter. He had five carries for 16 yards on the season and ran for 208 yards and three scores a year ago. Bradford was the only other player on the team with a rushing attempt.

Bradford participated in practice Wednesday morning.
