DavisTOLEDO -- A University of Toledo football player finds himself in hot water after an early-morning gun incident in west Toledo. Police say 21-year-old Richard Davis had an ongoing feud with a teammate on the UT football team. He apparently wanted to confront that teammate, but instead, Davis found himself face-to-face with an off-duty sheriff's deputy pointing a gun back at him.
The incident started around 4:30am on Thursday. Police say Deputy Vincent Scott was awakened by the sound of his doorbell ringing repeatedly, and the sound of somebody turning the doorknob. Scott armed himself with his service weapon, and went out the back door and confronted Davis.
He kept Davis at gunpoint, and called 911.
When officers questioned him, Davis said he was trying to settle an earlier dispute with another football player. They confiscated a shotgun that was leaning against the house, and a handgun that was in Davis's car.
Detectives determined that Davis had gone to the wrong address. His intended victim did not live there, nor did he have any connection with Scott.
The University of Toledo has suspended Davis from the football team. Other disciplinary action could result.
Toledo Police charged Davis with attempted aggravated burglary.
