Six MSU football players have been arraigned in relation to a Nov. 22 assault at Rather Hall.
Sophomore wide receiver B.J Cunningham, junior wide receiver Mark Dell, redshirt freshman linebacker Jamiihr Williams and junior offensive lineman J’Michael Deane were arraigned earlier this week at East Lansing’s 54-B District Court on one count of conspiracy to commit assault and battery and one count of assault and battery.
Sophomore running backs Glenn Winston and Ashton Leggett were arraigned on one count of conspiracy to commit assault and battery and two counts of assault and battery.
Three other players charged in the Rather Hall altercation, sophomore wide receivers Fred Smith and Chris L. Rucker, and junior safety Roderick Jenrette, still have outstanding warrants, a clerk in the 54-B District Court said.
According to court records, all of the players pleaded not guilty to the charges. Deane, Winston, Cunningham, Dell and Williams are scheduled for a Jan. 14 pretrial conference. Leggett’s is scheduled for Jan 13.
MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said the investigation is still ongoing and police are still interviewing suspect.
