Francois shares his concerns in 911 call

TALLAHASSEE — Florida State quarterback Deondre Francois was concerned about salvaging his belongings and a woman’s threat of domestic violence during a Tuesday afternoon incident at his apartment, his 911 call to police revealed on Thursday.

Francois wanted the Tallahassee Police Department to remove his girlfriend from his apartment.

“This girl, she’s tearing up everything in my home,” Francois said in his 911 call obtained by the Orlando Sentinel.

Francois told the dispatcher twice that the woman, who said in an incident report she and Francois had been dating for about a year, was threatening to call police to claim domestic violence during the incident.

“Coming home, and she’s just tearing everything up. And she just threw everything in my room down. I got two flat screens,” Francois said. “She’s trying to say domestic violence, but my best friend is sitting here and seeing her trying to take everything down.”

Francois did not give the dispatcher a clear definition of his relationship with the woman, who told police she is nine weeks pregnant.

“She’s my ex-girlfriend. Yes, well not even my exgirlfriend. She’s a girl I’ve been seeing a while, but I’ve been telling her that she has to leave, like, soon because … yeah.

“And then she faked like she called the police, but she never even called the police. I just heard her say ‘she called the police for domestic violence.’ ”

Francois was cleared Wednesday by TPD and the state attorney’s office for his involvement in the dispute.

TPD’s responding officer found no probable cause to make an arrest “based on conflicting statements and lack of an independent witness,” according to the incident report. The case was deemed closed and inactive.

FSU running back Zaqaundre White was in Francois’ apartment during the incident. White told police the woman began breaking glasses, a vase, and she tried to break a television before locking herself in Francois’ room.

White also said Francois only touched the woman when he tried to remove her from the apartment and defending himself when she swung at him.

The dispatcher advised Francois to distance himself from the woman until police arrived to his apartment.

“I’m cool. I’m not doing nothing. It’s fine,” Francois said. “I just want somebody to come get her please because I’m scared all my stuff is going to be ruined. She’s dropping everything in my house like she wants me. All she has to do is step outside my home.”
