Let this unfold before passing judgment. The accuser sated that she had been drinking and stated herself that Tow-Arnet hadn't been. One would think she would be full of bruises from being grabbed by the neck, thrown down and kicked repeatably by a college football player so lets wait and see how this shakes out.

You should look at the bruises on KARE 11 before you make a comment!!

She wanted cock, he wouldnt give it to her, so she made up a story. it has happened before.

More incremental evidence -- regardless of the specific outcome of this case -- that Brewster is recruiting the right kind of "extra Y-Chromosome" super-aggressive athlete that will take us into the Top 25 and eventually get us to the Rose Bowl.
To the local cops and potential victims I say -- "Get a clue" -- don't stand in the way of the growing dominance of the Gopher Nation!

[doh]

wow if this story is true then yeah Tow-aarnett you are a dumbas and I hope they throw the book at you. Maybe you and Royce can hang together in jail.

[why not wait]

Whats interesting is that almost always included in a story like this is the word- "suspected" and a picture of said suspect. Why not wait until charged before printing an article of this nature.

University students+alcohol+party. Gee, what could possibly go wrong there?

[IrishMN]

Ever watch a college football game on TV? Every announcer on every channel refers to these criminals and criminal-wanna-be's as student/athletes.

What a joke!

Facts: Accuser was drunk and on drugs. Tow-Arnett was 1 0f 3 sober people in the house at the time of incident, the other two had not been with the group at the Tiesto show. Tow-Arnett was 100% sober. The altercation was betweeen Tow-Arnett's girlfriend and the accuser. The accuser was getting her butt kicked by Tow-Arnetts girlfriend and had to be held back by another person in the house and that is how she got bruised. Tow-Arnett only stepped in when the accuser was going to attack his girlfriend with a bottle of Malibu. Truth will come out soon enough.

Soon, your comment leads the rest of us into assuming you were a witness. If that was the case, I hope the correct authorities have that statement.

As far as the 'negative nancys'.. It's pretty sad that in the court of opinion you are guilty until proven innocent. I hope this kid is innocent and is proven as such, that way you naysayers can eat some mighty fine crow!

[Fed up]

We have our athletes on a pedestal and don't care what they do. They are GOD!! Are we teaching them it is okay to abuse someone physically as far as they are able to play and win all the games? WOW, what a society of imbeciles we have created... As far as the Minneapolis Police Officers, it is a joke. They have so much power like when Rolando Ruiz was being tazered. What happens then??? Women are being abused on a daily basis somewhere in the world and we should put a STOP to it. Also, he is like a predator in the sense he preys on the vulnerable. Do you honestly believe this is his first time? I wish his GF all the best...

Boy, I guess they should move the campus of the U out of the Twin Cities so students can concentrate on school. While things of this nature occurred everyday while I went to school at the U, with the ever present media traipsing around campus like a playground monitor and everyone looking for 15 minutes of attention these incidents immediately get blown up. I seriously doubt that any student athlete can get thru 4 years at the U without hitting the papers in some unsubstantiated story.

Why is one of timm's white knights hanging in a drug house drunk or sober, high or low?

[Common Sense]

Sounds like the white knight was taking care of friends and preventing any of them from drunk driving.

Warden Smith, where's your evidence it's a drug house? Sounds like she made the poor decision to take drugs for the concert and then go to someone's house after-wards. So that makes it a drug house? But if it was a drug house would Tow-Arnett even know it was? Maybe he missed the sign "DRUG HOUSE" above the door every drug house has? Or maybe your making accusations before knowing the facts?

[Common Sense]

Oh hey Fed up,

I over heard someone yesterday talking about Tow-Arnett and his GF who claims he knows them. Said Tow-Arnett's GF used to work security at a club cuz she could throw down! In that case I wish Tow-Arnett all the best...

Allot of support for this guy on this board, wish the black athletes who got into trouble got the same kind of support.

Would like to help you out there slick, but there's to effing many of them!

[Common Sense]

One last thing,

If Tow-Arnett did what the accuser said he did then she should have ended up in the hospital as brutally as she claims it to be. A few bruises sounds like a cat fight since she did say she was having a verbal argument with his GF.

Anyway when is the Tow-Arnett story going to be heard?
