According to the Canadian Press, former Calgary Stampeders' running back Joffrey Reynolds has been found guilty of assaulting his girlfriend by a Calgary judge on Monday.
Reynolds was convicted of causing bodily harm, common assault and being unlawfully in a dwelling.
Reynolds' girlfriend Kaitlin Ward said Reynolds had kicked her in the back of the leg, tackled her, and choked her during various altercations. Ward reportedly dated Reynolds for six years before their relationship ended in December of 2011. He was released by the Stampeders on January 23.
Reynolds however unsuccessfully argued it was Ward, who at six feet and five inches, was the person in a jealous rage, and was punching him.
One altercation started at a party hosted by Stampeders' wide receiver Nik Lewis.
Reynolds was a four time Canadian Football League all-star while with the Calgary Stampeders from 2004-2011. He is also the Stampeders all-time leader in rushing yards with 9,213 yards.
