Little being held in lieu of bond

Associated Press

CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati center Donald Little was arraigned Tuesday on two felony charges for allegedly kidnapping, beating and burning his roommate.

The 23-year-old Little was being held in the Hamilton County jail in lieu of $50,000 bond.

Police arrested Little on Monday night and charged him with felonious assault and kidnapping, prosecutors said.

Little's roommate, Justin Hodge, told authorities that Little invited him to his home Monday, where he accused Hodge of stealing money, then hit Hodge on the head with a whiskey bottle.

Hodge also said he was tied with tape to a plastic lawn chair, burned with incense and beaten, the police report said. Hodge told police he was stabbed when he tried to escape.

Police said more arrests were possible.

Little averaged 7.1 points and 6.9 rebounds for the Bearcats, who were 31-4 last season.

Athletic department officials said Little will be barred from basketball-related activities until courts deal with the charges against him.

Little was dismissed from the Cincinnati basketball team last May after being arrested for traffic violations. He was reinstated prior to last season.
