Colorado State player, girlfriend charged with assault, domestic violence

A member of the Colorado State football team as well as his girlfriend have both found themselves with some legal issues following an incident late this past week.

Redshirt freshman defensive end Johnny Schupp and 19-year-old CSU student Dawn Rollins, the Fort Collins Coloradoan reports, were arrested early Friday morning by university police after an on-campus “situation.” Schupp and Rollins were charged with one count each of third-degree assault and domestic violence enhancement. Both of those charges are misdemeanors.

Additionally, Schupp was hit with a charge of harassment.

The details of what led to the arrests and charges has not yet been made available. Head coach Jim McElwain is aware of the situation but offered little information in a statement released by the school.

“There was an unfortunate relationship issue involving a member of our football program, Johnny Schupp,” McElwain said. “The nature of the matter is personal to him. We are working with Johnny and with the authorities to provide help to all involved.”

Schupp was a tight end in 2012 as he took a redshirt for his true freshman season. He was moved to the defensive line this spring.

Utah State redshirt freshman wide receiver Josh Davis is in fair condition on Friday, one day after collapsing at spring football practice following sudden cardiac arrest, the university announced.

Davis, initially was listed in critical condition, was breathing on his own. He is in the intensive-care unit at McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden, Utah.

Davis’ parents arrived in Utah on Thursday evening.

The 6-foot-1, 185-pound Davis, who is from Carlsbad, California, collapsed at Merlin Olsen Field and was immediately treated by the training staff, the university said. He was taken to Logan Regional Hospital.

The university said Davis was stabilized in the Logan hospital before being moved to Ogden.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama freshman defensive back Tony Mitchell has been suspended from the team following his arrest on a drug charge.

Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said Monday after the first practice of spring that Mitchell was suspended from the team “and all team activities until we gather more information about the situation and what his legal circumstance is.”

The Holmes County Sheriff’s Office arrested Mitchell and another man, Christophere Lewis, last week on a charge of possession of marijuana with the intent to sell or deliver, according to a post on the department’s Facebook page. Lewis also was charged with carrying a concealed gun without a permit.

“Everybody’s got an opportunity to make choices and decisions,” Saban said. “There’s no such thing as being in the wrong place at the wrong time. You’ve gotta be responsible for who you’re with, who you’re around and what you do, who you associate yourself with and the situations that you put yourself in. It is what it is, but there is cause and effect when you make choices and decisions that put you in bad situations.”

Mitchell, who is from Alabaster, Alabama, was a five-star prospect rated the 34th-best player and No. 3 safety in the 247Composite rankings.

Mitchell was driving the vehicle during a traffic stop. After deputies smelled marijuana, Mitchell picked up a baggie of marijuana from the passenger floorboard, according to the department’s Facebook post.

Sheriff’s deputies found “an additional significant amount of marijuana, a set of scales, a loaded handgun between the passenger seat and center console, and a large amount of cash,” according to the department’s Facebook post.
