• Freshman defensive end Emmanuel Livingston arrested for aggravated assault
Disputes between members of a football team are common during intense practices. There are instances such as Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith punching teammate Ken Lucas, or Steve Smith punching a teammate during a film session, or pretty much any situation involving Steve Smith and a teammate, but you get the point. Fights happen.
The Eastern Arizona College football time had a skirmish at practice result in an off the field aggravated assault charge. Defensive end Emmanuel Livingston was still pissed off about something that happened at practice when he encountered his teammate and took action.
From the Eastern Arizona Courier:
EAC Police were dispatched to the Mount Graham Regional Medical Center around 8:20 p.m. and made contact with the victim. He told the police Livingston approached him as he was leaving the dorm and they had a verbal confrontation that had been instigated during football practice earlier in the day. He said Livingston then grabbed his neck and choked him as he threw him against a wall.
Livingston tried to lie to the cops about being involved in a fight, and he got two witnesses to support his story. The police eventually broke the witsnitches and learned what really went down.
After initially hearing conflicting accounts from the witnesses, both admitted to seeing Livingston choke the victim with one hand while pinning him against the wall. They said the victim passed out and fell onto the concrete patio floor. Officers noted a large amount of dried blood on the concrete approximately 25 feet from the entrance to the dorm.
To tell the truth, the victim got off lucky. If this had happened at a high school in West Virginia he would’ve been choked until he passed out and when he woke up his ankles and wrists would’ve been duct taped.
Really you editors dont really know what went on or how it happened, and you definitely dont know what aggravated this situation. What about the victim what did he do to ignite this confrontation? You all only got one side of this story.How do you know what happened at practice?He say that she say is what you all are going by!And really truth be told thats what starts aolt of campus fights, and you all are just an example of that.You dont know the real truth either!!
You people are so wrong about this story! You got it all wrong!This guy started this whole thing not Livingston!You people dont know the half of what goes on on these campuses, so get you story straight and try it again before yall get sued for slandering!!
All i have to say is that, no matter who started the confrontation, it still don’t give anybody the right to do that to another person, its still wrong, what happen if he choked the guy to death then what, lose his whole life for what, over something stupid, at look he got arrested for assault was that worth it to have a record, not at all. They really need to learn how to control there anger, don’t let the other people get the best of you thats all.
this is all wrong i was there i kno what happened and actually there were no witnesses that told anything thats a lie and tim started the whole thing
