South Carolina national championship-winning forward Ashlyn Watkins was arrested on Saturday on charges of assault and battery and kidnapping. Watkins, a rising 6-foot-3 junior, played a key role in the Gamecocks' undefeated national championship season last year.
According to online judicial records for Richland County, Watkins was granted a $30,000 personal recognizance bond. She was ordered to have no contact with the victim, who remains unnamed in the records. Watkins was also instructed to stay 1,000 feet away from the victim's home, work, school, and place of worship.
