Darius VanBlount is a hurdler for the University of North Florida track team.
Over the weekend, VanBlount allegedly put those skills to good use — when he and a friend ran up on UNF basketball player who was on the balcony of a university-owned apartment.
VanBlount and the second man, identified as Terrance Bermudez, forced their way into the apartment where VanBlount then allegedly punched the unidentified basketball player in the face. VanBlount and his accomplice then sprinted off before Bermudez fired his gun in the air.
VanBlount has been charged with armed burglary, battery and resisting a police officer without violence.
