New Mexico St. Player Charged With Assault
A New Mexico State basketball player is charged with aggravated assault in a police warrant that accuses him of pointing a gun at a security guard during a post-football game party.
The warrant, issued Oct. 6, accuses Loren (Teeter) Marshall of threatening Sun City security guard Michael Stevens with a small-caliber weapon at the fraternity party attended by New Mexico State and Texas El Paso basketball players.
Marshall, 22, who transferred this fall from City College in San Francisco, was wounded early Oct. 4, when a fight broke out at a fraternity party. He is in stable condition at Memorial Medical Center in Las Cruces, N.M.
Stevens told police he asked a man with a gun to leave the party, according to the affidavit filed with the warrant. But when fights broke out, the man with the gun returned to the party. Stevens identified Marshall in a photo lineup and police also have collected other witness statements.
