Duke Williams has had his troubles off the field, we know that. We also know that he was removed from Auburn’s football team this week by Head Coach Gus Malzahn.
We all know that something had to have happened for the star wide receiver to get the boot.
What was it?
Wesley Sinor of AL.com writes that an employee of a local Auburn bar claims that D’haquille “Duke” Williams punched 4 people during a rampage at an Auburn bar after the team’s win over San Jose State.
D’haquille “Duke” Williams punched two security guards, a bartender assistant and another unidentified patron of a bar in Auburn following the Tigers’ win over San Jose State, according to two employees who spoke exclusively to AL.com.
The employees requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the incident.
According to the employees, the incident was sparked when a member of Williams’ party was kicked out of Skybar for declining to remove his sunglasses, violating the bar’s dress code.
Williams, whom each employee said appeared intoxicated, verbally harassed security guards and attempted to get the friend back into the bar using his local celebrity status, only to be thrown out himself. Williams was allowed to return later before throwing a drink at a female patron, according to one witness.
That witness also said Williams threw multiple punches at security guards, who eventually forced him out the door. Once outside, Williams punched the unidentified patron, the witness said.

Kentucky plays host to the Tigers in Commonwealth Stadium next Thursday, and not having to prepare for star receiver makes things a little easier for the Cats.
Moral of the story: Make good choices ladies and gentlemen, it could cost you MILLIONS of dollars!
