COLLEGE FOOTBALL REPORT / WEEKDAY UPDATE : AROUND THE NATION : Six San Jose State Players Face Charges
Six San Jose State football players face criminal charges as a result of two incidents at a nightclub.
Five players--Chad Hymel, Everett Lampkins, Lynell Mayo, Gabe Smith and Brian Woods--were charged with assault and battery and are scheduled to be arraigned Nov. 15 in Santa Clara County Municipal Court.
The five players got into a brawl with bouncers at a nightclub on the night of Sept. 30, according to a police report. Police cited and released each player at the scene.
Another player, Hesh Colar, was arrested at the nightclub last week. Charges of resisting, delaying and obstructing an officer, disturbing the peace and trespassing on private property were filed.
Syracuse defensive back Darrell Jones has been charged with sexual abuse and trespassing for allegedly fondling and harassing a 19-year-old student in her apartment, school officials said Thursday.
The junior backup from Somerset, N.J., also has been suspended from the team and will not attend practice until allegations surrounding the incident are resolved, said sports information director Larry Kimball.
Jones, 21, was arraigned on second-degree criminal trespass and third-degree sexual abuse charges in city court Tuesday.
He was released on his own recognizance pending a pre-trial hearing Nov. 20.
