TAMPA -- Lee Roy Selmon Jr., the 21-year-old son of the pro football Hall of Famer and defensive tackle at the University of South Florida, was arrested Tuesday on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after an incident at a Tampa-area party. Selmon allegedly fought with 20-year-old Clint Lowman outside a Tampa apartment building. Lowman claims Selmon beat him along with six to 10 men. Lowman, who reportedly weighs 120 pounds -- 160 pounds less than Selmon -- suffered a broken orbital eye socket and jaw and bruised ribs. Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department spokesman Lt. Rod Reder said Selmon allegedly bumped into Lowman in the parking lot and slapped him twice in the face, then knocked him to the ground with his fists before leaving the scene. Minutes later, police said, he returned with six to 10 men and continued to beat and kick Lowman until he was unconscious. Lowman was taken to University Community Hospital where he underwent surgery to repair a broken jaw and a fractured orbital eye socket. Police said a second suspect, Patrick Farrow, 21, has also been arrested in connection with the assault. More arrests are expected in the next few days. | ||
