BOULDER — One University of Colorado football player is facing drug charges and another is facing assault charges after the two got into a fight outside a bar in downtown Boulder just hours after the Buffs beat Utah at Folsom Field.
Abdul Jaleel Awini, 23, was arrested on suspicion of drug possession around 1:30 a.m. Sunday while Christopher Hill, 21, was cited with third-degree assault, according to court records.
According to a police report, Hill punched Awini after an argument and police who responded to the call found a substance that appeared to be cocaine in Awini’s wallet.
