Good old Austin O'Such. He should be in jail, but I guess getting suspended from his school and the team for the rest of the school year will do for now.

Sorry Rita, I can 't resist......
For sure this is not assault, which is the crime of causing someone to fear violence may be done to them. In this instance, one can make a case for battery, which is actual violence. |

Just because it was done during a game shouldn't mean anything Rita |

Steve,
He was kicked off the team, but not out of school. Yavapai did recommend that he leave school, because his personal safety was very much in question, and he did leave. Examiner.com (not the only source for the above statement.) |

The college has implemented this action and will continue to work with the Arizona Community College Athletic Conference (ACCAC) on current and future sanctions following conference procedures."

It is amazing the things we can find to argue about on this forum.

I am glad to see there were consequences.
Whether we want to call it battery or assault (as in the state of PA), this was a shameful act. |

No idea about Arizona criminal code. |
Here's Minnesota's statute:
Assault 5 Subdivision 1.Misdemeanor. Whoever does any of the following commits an assault and is guilty of a misdemeanor: (1) commits an act with intent to cause fear in another of immediate bodily harm or death; or (Key word there) (2) intentionally inflicts or attempts to inflict bodily harm upon another. It would likely be the lowest form of assault UNLESS the victim breaks a bone due to his behavior then it ups the ante a bit in MN anyway: Then it would bump up to Assault 3 and I think that would be a felony. Subdivision 1.Substantial bodily harm. Whoever assaults another and inflicts substantial bodily harm may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than five years or to payment of a fine of not more than $10,000, or both. Definition of Substantial Bodily Harm: Subd. 7a.Substantial bodily harm. "Substantial bodily harm" means bodily injury which involves a temporary but substantial disfigurement, or which causes a temporary but substantial loss or impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ, or which causes a fracture of any bodily member. Definition of Felony: Subd. 2.Felony. "Felony" means a crime for which a sentence of imprisonment for more than one year may be imposed. |
Arizona Statutes
13-1203. Assault; classification A. A person commits assault by: 1. Intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causing any physical injury to another person; or 2. Intentionally placing another person in reasonable apprehension of imminent physical injury; or 3. Knowingly touching another person with the intent to injure, insult or provoke such person. B. Assault committed intentionally or knowingly pursuant to subsection A, paragraph 1 is a class 1 misdemeanor. Assault committed recklessly pursuant to subsection A, paragraph 1 or assault pursuant to subsection A, paragraph 2 is a class 2 misdemeanor. Assault committed pursuant to subsection A, paragraph 3 is a class 3 misdemeanor. |
Around here he would be a CSSOB, and would likely never play again.
