Multiple reports out have confirmed that 4th string running back and El Kaiser’s main man Jamaal Berry has been charged with misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct for allegedly punching a person in the face after getting into a verbal argument on October 21st at 2:30 A.M. A second witness says that Berry bragged about beating up a “White Boy”. No serious injuries were caused in the altercation. Arraignment is scheduled for Dec. 1. The alleged victim has filed a civil lawsuit in Franklin County seeking unspecified damages.
From OSU: Ohio State spokesman Jerry Emig said in a statement that Berry had been suspended from the team “for violating the university’s student-athlete code of conduct.”
The statement added, “Berry will remain suspended until charges filed against him have been resolved.”
This isnt Berry’s first run in with the law as a recruit he was charged with Felony Drug Possession. Also in September he was involved in a strange case where he allegedly wrestled a student to the ground and was incoherent when the police arrived. He spent time in a hospital but all tests came back negative. He was not charged with any crime from that case as of yet.
Clearly Jamaal has got some real inner demons. He has all the talent in the world but has failed to live up to expectations. Not sure he will survive this latest set back and remain on the team. A very sad situation for all involved for sure.
