Lobos QB arrested -- after pepper spraying his girlfriend

I’m thinking somebody’s been cut off. And is sleeping on the couch. In the doghouse.

In a story that’s taken the early lead for “Legal Run-in of the Year”, New Mexico quarterback Ryan Trujillo was arrested late last week and charged with battery on a household member. And how did he allegedly batter this female household member? With her own pepper spray outside of an Albuquerque restaurant Friday night.

The Daily Lobo has the details:

The police report said he grabbed his girlfriend’s car keys off the table in the restaurant and that he and his girlfriend fought over the keys in the restaurant parking lot.

He then sprayed his girlfriend in the face with a pepper spray canister attached the keychain, according to police.


Trujillo was a true freshman walk-on for the Lobos in 2011. The school is aware of and looking into the incident.

And we’re assuming Trujillo is looking for a new female household member as well.
