Summary The video punch harkened to last year's incident involving Rice
TALLAHASSEE (AFP) - Another video of an American football player hitting a woman was made public Monday, with a teen collegian s actions reviving memories of the Ray Rice incident from a year ago.
The Florida State Attorney s office released a surveillance video of DeAndre Jordan, a 19-year-old freshman quarterback at US college powerhouse Florida State, punching a woman in the face at the crowded bar Yiannis in a June 24 incident.
Johnson was charged with misdemeanor battery last Tuesday and released after turning himself in to police. Officials say they charged him after seeing the video and talking with the woman struck, who had a black eye and bruised lip and face.
It s not the first trouble for Florida State, whose former star quarterback Jameis Winston was the first pick in this year s NFL Draft after a troubled college career that saw him lead the Seminoles to an unbeaten national championship season in 2013.
He faced a sex assault allegation and a gun complaint that did not lead to charges filed. He was issued a citation for shoplifting crab legs from a grocery store.
The video punch harkened to last year s incident involving Rice, then an NFL rusher for the Baltimore Ravens.
An elevator surveillance video of him striking his then-girlfriend in an Atlantic City casino was made public and led to a suspension that was eventually overturned. Rice still looks for a team that will hire him after sitting out last season.
