PASADENA : UCLA Student Sentenced in Attack at Football Game
A 20-year-old UCLA student who kicked a UC Berkeley alumnus in the head during a chaotic post-football game brawl at the Rose Bowl last October was sentenced Friday to 90 days in jail and five years probation.
Larry Yoshihara Weng, a junior psychology major from Alhambra, was convicted last month in Pasadena Superior Court of one count of assault with a deadly weapon for kicking Richard Pearson after Pearson had been knocked to the ground by one of Weng’s Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity brothers.
Deputy Dist. Atty. Elizabeth Siegmund said Pearson, 24, who had been trying to break up a fight among several students, suffered a concussion, and his jaw was broken in two places.
