| Tuesday, February 27 Probable first-round pick faces charges Associated Press | |||
MADISON, Wis. – Former Wisconsin running back Michael
Bennett was formally charged with two misdemeanors Thursday in
connection with an incident in which he allegedly kicked in a
woman's door.
Bennett, 22, was charged with criminal damage to property and
unlawful use of a telephone, both misdemeanors, according to the
Dane County District Attorney's office.
If convicted of both charges, Bennett could face up to a year in
jail and fines up to $10,000.
Bennett was arrested last week for allegedly making several
harassing phone calls to a woman in his apartment building and then
kicking in her door, causing more than $200 damage.
He was released on a signature bond after Dane County Court
Commissioner Todd E. Meurer ordered him to have no contact with the
woman or three of her friends.
Court records indicate Bennett admitted making abusive comments
to the woman, but he denied damaging her door. His next court
appearance is March 5.
Bennett skipped his senior season at Wisconsin to turn pro. NFL
scouts project the 5-foot-10, 205-pound tailback as a first-round
pick. Send this story to a friend | Most sent stories | ALSO SEE
