In a statement announcing the suspension, Miami said it was "aware of the situation" involving Wyche and had "no further comment at this time."

Wyche and his girlfriend of five years got into a verbal argument, which escalated when Wyche allegedly pushed and threw her onto a bed in the South Miami home they share with their child, The Palm Beach Post reported citing the police report. His girlfriend, who is also 23, told police Wyche also pushed her into a wall, causing her to hit her head. The police report indicates she suffered minor injuries, including a bloody lip, and had torn clothing.
