Travis Hunter’s father, Travis Hunter Sr., has been taken into police custody in Palm Beach County, Florida.

The troubled father of the NFL rookie and 2024 Heisman Trophy winner was taken into custody for vi0lating the terms of his probation. According to authorities, his court-ordered location monitor lost track of him for 11 minutes.

A warrant was issued for Travis Sr. on July 10 after his probation officer said authorities briefly lost track of him the night of June 28 when he was “too far away from his monitoring device to be accurately tracked,” according to court documents obtained by USA Today.

USA TODAY Sports said it contacted Hunter Sr.’s attorney for comment but didn’t immediately receive a response.

According to the records, the 11-minute lapse was a vi0lation of his “community control” probation, which led to the warrant being issued. Hunter Sr. triggered a “bracelet gone” alarm between 8:07 and 8:18 p.m. on June 28.

Court documents showed that the probation officer tested the device on July 4 and determined it was working properly. Travis Hunter Sr. told the officer he was “moving too fast and forgot it.”

 

Hunter Sr. is being held at the West Palm Beach jail without bond.

The 39-year-old was placed under electronic monitoring in 2023 as part of a three-year probation for gun and drug charges. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail and 3 years on probation, including one year of house arr3st.

Travis Hunter Getting Set For Training Camp

Training camps have kicked off around the NFL.

How the Jacksonville Jaguars split Travis Hunter’s workload in training camp is one of the league’s biggest storylines.

Although he’s facing a learning curve like any other rookie, he’s routinely showcased his talent.

There’s a strong possibility Hunter won’t play two ways full-time because of how stacked the Jags are at both wide receiver and cornerback.

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got away with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
