I guess he wants respect on his name or you’ll get choked out.
UCF basketball player Rokas Ulvydas was arrested Saturday night for battery charges after he choked and threatened his roommate. The whole incident was because he didn’t say hi.
Reports from Knights News claims that on October 6, the roommates went to their apartment to change clothes and Ulvydas, 23, approached him in his room. The reason is because earlier, at the UCF vs SMU tailgate party, the roommates never acknowledged Ulvydas when they saw him there.
He felt some type of way about it and approached him in the room yelling “when you see me you acknowledge me and say hello” and grabbed him by the back of the neck. They then claim he yelled “if you don’t say hi to me, I’ll f**king kill you, you know who I am.” It escalated as Ulvydas turned him around and chocked him with both hands and pinned him against the bedroom door. Ulvydas threw him and left the room.
Police later showed up and Ulvydas apologized for overreacting but that wasn’t enough to keep him from being charged with misdemeanor/first-degree battery charges. He even told police that he knows he’s stronger so he shouldn’t of done it. I think there’s more to it than just strength that makes this wrong.
He was released from jail the same night on a $500 bond.
