Simple battery and criminal damage arrest warrants were issued for the University football player arrested Monday and charged with underage possession of alcohol.

Defensive end Montez Robinson was booked at the Athens-Clarke County Jail at 5:44 p.m. Thursday. He was released Friday on $2,000 bond, and then suspended from the football team later on Friday by head coach Mark Richt.

“I’m certainly disappointed in the situation with Montez,” said Richt. “We have expectations and standards for our student-athletes and his actions are not in line with those. We are suspending him indefinitely from all team activities.”

The warrants were issued in relation to incidents on Oct. 20 and Nov. 30.

In the November incident, according to the University Police report, the tail lights of Armita Didehvar’s car were discovered smashed. Robinson was with Didehvar when she was contacted in relation to the damage.

According to the University Police report, in the October incident, Robinson was involved in a fight with Didehvar. According to witness statements, Robinson injured Didehvar when he threw her against a trash can.

“About slamming against the trash can, things like that, those are not true,” Didehvar told The Red & Black Thursday. “Nothing happened. We just had an argument. Witnesses just blow things up.”

Didehvar said she expects the simple battery charge to be dropped. She said she and several of her and Robinson’s friends, who witnessed the incident, are willing to give a different, less violent account.

Didehvar said she had other expectations for the criminal damage charges.

“He just broke tail lights,” she said.

Didehvar said that during the November incident, she didn’t respond to multiple calls, text messages and knocks on her door from Robinson. She said later that night she was awoken by her roommates when Robinson returned, then went outside with him to talk.

“That’s when the police approached me and said that my car had been damaged,” she said.

University Police Chief Jimmy Williamson said investigators were unable to arrest Robinson after the October incident because Didehvar declined to press charges and the case did not meet requirements to be pursued under family violence laws.

“Since that time, while investigating the damage to the car, they were able to establish all the parameters for family violence,” he said.

Larry Gourdine, relationship and sexual violence prevention coordinator for the Office of Violence Prevention, said people worried about relationship violence should look for verbal abuse, which often leads to physical abuse.

Gourdine said most individuals will not come out on their own to say they’ve been abused.

“There’s shame, there’s guilt, and any survivors, any students involved in interpersonal abuse, blame themselves for the abuse,” he said of most cases. “When students are confronted by their peers and loved ones with the abuse, they’re most likely going to deny it.”

Concerned friends in such situations should say to the suspected victim they are there to talk and help, Gourdine said.

“That allows the person who is being abused to feel more safe and comfortable and open to come out and say, ‘I need help,’” he said.

Students who are victims of abuse are able to contact the University and Athens-Clarke County Police and Gourdine’s office for help.

Gourdine said when students come to his office, he does his best to support them by explaining their legal options, getting them medical attention and talking with professors so students can make up any missed work.

Robinson was unavailable for comment Thursday night.

The football player was named Southeastern Conference Defensive Lineman of the Week after the Nov. 7 game against Tennessee Tech, a game he could have been suspended for were he arrested after the Oct. 20 incident.

Associate Athletic Director Claude Felton was unable to be reached Thursday for comment.
