(Columbia, SC) -- A former University of South Carolina basketball star is facing criminal charges. Sindarius Thornwell was arrested yesterday for second-degree domestic violence and unlawful conduct. The 30-year-old was the SEC Rookie of the Year when the Gamecocks made a surprising run to the 2017 Final Four. A woman claims she was holding a child when she was assaulted by Thornwell last month on Glen Village Road.
