D'haquille Williams reportedly punched Auburn player at bar

Dismissed Auburn WR D'haquille Williams reportedly punched then-teammate Xavier Dampeer in a bar incident over the weekend.

Williams was dismissed from the team on Monday. According to the Alabama News Network, Dampeer was one of four people Williams punched at the bar. The dispute allegedly began when a friend of Williams was told he was violating the bar's dress code by wearing sunglasses. Dampeer was treated and released from a hospital.

The source close to the program indicates Dampeer was one of Williams' alleged victims.The Auburn police department says Williams has not been accused of any criminal act and has not been charged. "We cannot file charges until the injured person(s) comes forward. Unless an officer personally sees a fight, no arrests can be made," Auburn Police Chief Paul Register told Alabama News Network on Thursday.

Auburn coach Gus Malzahn declined to comment specifically when he was asked if other players were involved in the bar incident. Dampeer is a senior reserve center.

Williams had 45 catches for 730 yards and five scores in 2014. He was counted on to be one of Auburn's best offensive players again in 2015 despite disciplinary issues. He was suspended for the team's Outback Bowl loss to Wisconsin at the end of the 2014 season and missed time in preseason practice.
