By Associated Press 4:56 PM CDT, August 17, 2010 CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) – A University of Northern Iowa football player has been indefinitely suspended after being arrested for allegedly punching a man in the face. UNI football coach Mark Farley announced the suspension after 22-year-old Henry Obi was arrested on Sunday by Cedar Falls police. The defensive lineman saw limited playing time last year. Obi allegedly punched man in July at Mojo’s Pizza House. The victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment of a broken nose, a gash in the face and several broken facial bones. The assault happened on a night when a large fight at Mojo’s and elsewhere on College Hill resulted in eight other arrests. A working telephone number for Obi could not be found Tuesday. |

| 2009-10-13 | The_Criminal | Big 10 | Small-Time | Crime Link | 8 | There may be more to come on this one. If you read the second page it talks about two other Gophers being suspended for two games for something all together different. As for the fighting, I especially like the comment on the MAIC and Big 10 records of the two scools for the decade.
"The university cops were dealing with a high volume of calls, so they decided to cite Tinsley for fleeing police and alcohol consumption by a minor rather than take him to jail....The reason was unknown, although it could not have been taunting over gridiron exploits, since the Auggies are 22-53 in the MIAC in this decade as compared to the Gophers’ 28-45 in the Big Ten. Augsburg football coach Frank Haege was contacted Wednesday and asked: ’Which one of your players was beaten up by Gophers and friends Sunday morning?’ Haege: ’I don’t know.’" |

| 2008-06-07 | Trailer_Trash | Devil Rays | Small-Time | Crime Link | 40 | Boston outfielder Coco Crisp, Tampa Bay pitcher James Shields and six other players were suspended Friday, a day after their wild brawl at Fenway Park.
Three Red Sox got suspended: Crisp for seven games, pitcher Jon Lester for five games and first baseman Sean Casey for three games. Five Rays were penalized by Major League Baseball disciplinarian Bob Watson: Shields for six games, DH-outfielder Jonny Gomes and pitcher Edwin Jackson for five games each, outfielder Carl Crawford for four games and second baseman Akinori Iwamura for three games. All eight players also were fined undisclosed amounts. The Red Sox and Rays have often clashed in the past, and a fight between Crisp and Shields in Boston’s 7-1 win Thursday night triggered the latest outburst. "I want to be very clear: I defend everything our guys did," Rays manager Joe Maddon said before Friday night’s game at Texas. "I feel actually proud of the way we handled the situation that was presented." The starting dates of the suspensions were staggered, so as to not leave either team short-handed. Crisp, Shields and Gomes all appealed their penalties, which were set to start Friday night. They can continue to play until the appeal process is complete. Lester, suspended for throwing a pitch at a Tampa Bay hitter after a warning had been issued, will not appeal and immediately began sitting out. Crawford was set to start serving his suspension Wednesday, Jackson on June 13, Casey on June 14 and Iwamura on June 17. "Obviously, we want to balance the days out. They’ve done that, but we want to see if we can set it up a little different," Maddon said. "We’d like to see a few more of their guys suspended. They started it, but we had more guys thrown out," he said. "The perpetrator’s crime is way too close to us." The Red Sox were home against Seattle on Friday night. The Boston clubhouse had already closed when the suspensions were announced. Major baseball brawls in recent years have resulted in multiple suspensions. |
| 2008-04-20 | Trailer_Trash | Devil Rays | Small-Time | Crime Link | 8 | Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Al Reyes was shocked with a stun gun and arrested early Friday after police say he fell against a ceramic pot in a bar, got up and picked a fight with a man he thought pushed him.
The reliever apologized to teammates, fans and the entire Rays organization before Friday night’s game against Baltimore, and manager Joe Maddon said the club was not planning any disciplinary action. "I tried to have a good time on my birthday, but I guess it was the worst one," said Reyes, who was in uniform at Tropicana Field and available to pitch against the Orioles. "I just want to apologize again to my teammates, the whole organization ... for what happened last night." Reyes, 0-1 with a 27.00 ERA in two appearances this season, did not take questions. He was treated at the scene for a cut on his nose and was charged with being in a fight that disturbed the peace. Eduardo Mora was charged with battery. Both men were released on their own recognizance. "It’s just one of those unfortunate, isolated incidents. I don’t really believe you’re going to see that happen again with Al," Maddon said. "We’re just going to move beyond it. It’s just unfortunate that it occurred." Witnesses told officers that Reyes, who turned 38 on Thursday, appeared to be intoxicated when he exchanged words with Mora, who punched the 6-foot-1, 240-pound pitcher in the face at the Hyde Park Cafe around 2:30 a.m. A police statement said that when bouncers grabbed Mora, Reyes began spitting blood on patrons and swinging his arms. When the bouncers were unable to control Reyes, a police officer working extra duty at the club intervened, asking Reyes to stop. When the pitcher "continued spitting blood and thrashing about," the officer told Reyes he was going to use his Taser, which knocked Reyes to the ground. He was shocked a second time after not complying with commands to stay down. |

Two Utah football players stabbed during a street fight last weekend were recovering Monday. Defensive linemen Paul Kruger and Greg Newman, were both stabbed in the stomach after leaving a house party late Saturday night. Kruger underwent surgery, and released a statement on Monday saying his condition was improving. "It was a scary situation. I was with my sister, brother and friends, and you don't expect that to happen," the 6-foot-5 255-pound Kruger said. Kruger, a freshman, was one of the Utes' top defensive players last season, finishing with 63 tackles and three sacks.

"I'm grateful that they didn't hit anything serious and that I'll be able to get go back to school in a few days and back working out in a few weeks," said Newman, a reserve who played in all 13 games and had 12 tackles. Kruger's brother, David, Kruger, a high-school football player in Orem, Utah, suffered cuts to the face that required stitches. He was doing OK, his older brother said.
