Tennessee: Footballer Brooks Files Assault Charges in Donnybrook



A Donnybrook in Knoxville: More details are surfacing from Knoxville regarding the altercation between Tennessee football player Daniel Brooks and basketball players Jemere Hendrix and Andre Patterson. As we reported two days ago, Brooks and Hendrix were both dismissed from the university, and Patterson was suspended indefinitely. Brooks has filed an assault complaint against Hendrix and Patterson with the UT Police Department, claiming that he was struck in the nose and then kicked by the pair while he was on the ground. Apparently Patterson was turned away from a party Brooks was hosting Saturday evening (the party resulted in Brooks missing curfew, thus getting suspended from the team). On Monday, the two got into a heated argument, and while Patterson was being pulled away, Hendrix stepped in and punched Brooks in the nose. Brooks claims that he was in the nose with a bottle, a claim that is disputed by some witnesses. [10/06/05]
