Arizona sophomore running back Ka'Deem Carey's season could not have gone much better.

A nation-best 1,929 rushing yards. Twenty-three rushing touchdowns. Heisman votes. A bowl game victory.

Carey's offseason, though, is an entirely different story.

Word leaked Sunday that an issue of protection was ordered against Carey.

Monday it has been reported by the Arizona Daily Star that charges will be filed against the 20-year-old.

According to the report, the charges come due to an incident involving Carey's pregnant ex-girlfriend.

Both Carey and the woman "showed injuries consistent with some type of physical altercation," Tucson police spokesman Sgt. Chris Widmer said.

Police took statements from both Carey and the woman and they were separated.

The case was passed on to domestic violence detectives who turned the case to Tucson City Court for review.

The City Prosecutor and detectives made a decision to file charges against Carey, Widmer said.

The specific charges will be released at the hearing, but also noted in the report is that in asking for the order of protection, the woman wrote that Carey entered a room looking for a lighter to smoke an illegal substance.

She wrote that she asked Carey to leave several times and he pushed and shoved his way into the room and knocked her to the floor and slammed her fingers in the door.

Not all of the information and details have been learned, and the point of any trial would be to determine what exactly happened. As of now, though, things do not currently look good for Arizona football's best player.

    Looks like the kitties need some help on "D" in the court as well as on the field! Oh and on the sidelines too, like NM Bowl. Losers on all counts - always have been, always will.

    And what has ASU done lately? How many times have they been recognized nationally in the preseason only to fall flat on their face? And they hardly have upstanding citizens.

    "What has ASU done lately?"
    They beat UA in the Territorial Cup and beat the Navy in the Kraft bowl, which is a much better bowl destination than the one in New Mexico. Not to mention they finished with a better record than UA. That's what they've done lately.

    Let's not forget the 5 UA lineman charged with criminal trespassing when they were denied entry to a house party last year, and the former UA safety who assaulted the girl who denied them entry. Sure, ASU has had it's share of bad seeds in the past (i.e. Fright Night), but UA takes the cake.

    but let's not act like we don't have guys that act up or have committed crimes. Holy heck both schools have shown athletes to be insane at x's. I hate the kitty's but that stuff that went down with L Wade was sick. Or the several arrests during the DE era.
