Rutgers wide receiver Leonte Carroo was suspended indefinitely by head coach Kyle Flood shortly after his arrest.
Along with Carroo his mother also is in the mix of those facing charges after an altercation on campus.
According to NJ,
Lavern Carroo, the 41-year old mother of the Scarlet Knights star player, was among those charged by the Rutgers University Police Department for simple assault and disorderly conduct related to an incident.
Also charged were Maria Vega, 20, and Juan Vega, 52.
Authorities alleged that their actions included general fighting behavior, specifically hair pulling and striking a victim in the face with a hand.
The altercation took place outside the Hale Center on Saturday after the game.
Carroo reportedly got in between an altercation between two women he has been romantically involved with.
The victim Maria Vega, a Rutgers recruiting ambassador, was hospitalized at Saint Peter’s University Hospital for her injuries.
Vega’s father claims that all hospital results came back normal, and that Vega has a restraining order against Carroo, and has quit her job at the athletics department.
There’s still a lot unknown about this situation, but it’s definitely a big mess.
