Brandon Vandenburg, the former Vanderbilt player who was convicted of rape in January, is facing more trouble.
According to a report from CBS Los Angeles, Vandenburg is facing a misdemeanor charge of battery for allegedly “roughing up a security guard” at his brother’s middle school in Palm Desert, Calif. The alleged incident occurred on Feb. 27, 2014 as Vandenburg was free on bail from rape and other charges in Nashville.
Per the report, Vandenburg “snatched Tarascio’s sunglasses off his face, leaving a tiny scratch under the security officer’s left eyebrow.”
According to a court declaration in support of an arrest warrant in connection with the California incident, Vandenburg went to his brother's school that day around 3:34 p.m. and was confronted by campus security officer Jamie Tarascio. Vandenburg told Tarascio his name and said he was on his brother's emergency contact list, according to the document.
Tarascio said he would have to confirm that Vandenburg was authorized to be on the campus and turned to walk into an administration office, sheriff's investigator Steve Rivera wrote. That's when Vandenburg - who is described in court records as 6-foot-6 and 255 pounds - snatched Tarascio's sunglasses off his face, leaving a tiny scratch under the security officer's left eyebrow, Rivera wrote.
After the incident, Vandenburg “had to be forced off the school campus,” according to the court declaration.
Vandenburg, along with Corey Batey, another former Vanderbilt player, was found guilty on January 28 for raping and filming an unconscious 21-year-old woman. He is scheduled to be sentenced on April 24.
