One of the Michigan State football players arrested during a September incident at an East Lansing fraternity house has been granted Holmes Youthful Trainee status.
Attorney Mike Nichols confirmed his client Luke Fulton, a redshirt freshman linebacker from Youngstown, Ohio, had his plea heard and accepted Wednesday by Judge Richard D. Ball according to 54B District Court records.
Nichols said Oct. 19 that Fulton’s charges were reduced to assault and battery, and was hopeful Fulton will be granted Holmes Youthful Trainee Act status.
In Michigan, offenders younger than 24 who have pleaded to some criminal offenses can have their court records closed to public view under HYTA.
