Per The Miami Student, Miami defensive end Zach Smierciak was charged over the weekend for felonious assault in reference to an allegation of intentionally shoving a ladder with a person on it at the Brick Street bar in Oxford.
The person fell and hit his head, and was taken to McCullough Hyde Hospital in Oxford before being flown to the University of Cincinnati Hospital early Sunday morning. Smierciak fled the scene following the incident, which was confirmed by 10 written statements, an interview and a security video.
This was not Smierciak’s first run-in with the law in Oxford.
