Rutgers wide receiver Leonte Carroo reportedly slams a woman down onto concrete after a game.
Rutgers star wide receiver Leonte Carroo reportedly slammed a woman he was dating onto concrete outside the football training center Saturday night, leading to his arrest and indefinite suspension from the team.
Carroo — who was
charged with domestic violence and a disorderly persons’ offense — is accused of “picking her up and slamming her down on a concrete surface, injuring her left hip, both palms, left elbow and left side of the head,” according to a complaint filed in Piscataway municipal court and
obtained by The Bergen Record Tuesday.
He was released on $1,000 bail, the complaint said.
After Rutgers' 37-34 loss to Washington State Saturday night, a fight between two women
reportedly set off a confrontation outside the Hale Center.
Rutgers coach Kyle Flood announced Sunday that Carroo was suspended indefinitely.
“Leonte Carroo has been suspended from our program as a result of an incident that happened last night outside our stadium that's currently under investigation,” Flood said.
The team's star receiver is just one on a growing list of players dismissed or suspended from the football program. In September, six players have been kicked off the Rutgers football team and another suspended for alleged criminal activity.
Even
Flood is being investigated over emails he allegedly sent to a faculty member on behalf of junior cornerback Nadir Barnwell, who was in danger of being ruled academically ineligible.
