TALLAHASSEE, Fl. (Reuters) - Florida State University suspended a star running back from its football team on Friday when he was charged with punching a woman outside a night spot near the state capitol — the second such case in about two weeks for the squad.
Dalvin Cook, 19, was charged with misdemeanor battery in the June 23 incident in front of Clyde's and Costello's, a popular downtown bar that had closed at about 2 a.m.
The woman, who identified Cook from a police photo lineup, said another man asked her to go home with him and when she refused, she became involved in an argument with Cook.
