According to an arrest form, Wyche had an argument with his girlfriend of five years, who is also the mother of his child, regarding their sleeping arrangements. South Miami police officers said the argument escalated and Wyche pushed the woman several times on the bed and slammed her against a wall.
Police said the victim had minor injuries, including a bloody lip and torn clothing.
According to his Miami sports profile, Wyche made his career debut at Louisville and did not record any stats. He recorded his first two tackles against FAMU last year.
Wyche did not play in any of the last three Hurricane games. He did not have an attorney and was being assigned a public defender, according to court records.
In a statement released Wednesday, team spokesman Tom Symonds said the university's athletics department was aware of the arrest and that Wyche has been suspended indefinitely.
Wyche is from Chesapeake, Virginia, and previously attended East L.A. College.
