FORT WORTH — TCU defensive end Devonte Fields is under investigation by police after his ex-girlfriend accused him of pointing a gun at her, threatening, "I should blast you!” then punching her in the head at a Fort Worth home Sunday.

Fields had allegedly left the scene before officers’ arrival, according to a Fort Worth police report.

“Devonte Fields has been listed as a suspect on a domestic disturbance in Fort Worth,” confirmed Sgt. Raymond Bush, a police spokesman. “He has not been arrested.”

On Tuesday, TCU released a statement saying Fields had been “separated” from the university pending results of the investigation.

Head football Coach Gary Patterson said, “what that means is right now he’s not allowed to be on school premises.”

Fields, 21, who only played three games last year because of injury, has been selected as the preseason defensive MVP of the Big 12.

Patterson said he would let justice takes it course before making a decision on Fields.
