Rolling Ordered Off UCSD Campus

A San Diego Chargers linebacker was ordered off the UC San Diego campus this week after he went there with a pair of nunchakus to defend his sister, the chief of the campus police said Thursday.

Chief John Anderson confirmed that Henry Rolling, 26, tried to intervene in a dispute between his sister Gaynelle, who is a UCSD student, and other students.

Anderson said Rolling could have been charged with a felony just by carrying the nunchakus. Rolling admitted that the nunchakus were his, and police confiscated them from his sister’s dorm room, Anderson said. But he was not charged because none of the witnesses said Rolling used the martial-arts weapon to strike or threaten anybody, he said.

“It is not uncommon for us to confiscate nunchakus without seeking prosecution,” Anderson said. “The Chargers are up here all the time during summer camp, and none of them enjoy any privileged status on campus.”

In cases where non-students are involved in incidents on campus, police normally ask them to stay off campus for a few days, Anderson said.

“Informally, I think, (Rolling) was asked to stay away,” Anderson said. “We know he was acting in a highly agitated state.”

Rolling joined the Chargers in April, 1990, after being released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
