SKCAUB 0 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Badgers Wide Receiver Randle El Arrested The Associated Press December 18. 2005 3:15AM The brother of Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Antwaan Randle El was arrested and temporarily jailed after a fight over an alleged theft of money, police said. Wisconsin receiver Marcus Randle El, 19, punched another 19-year-old late Friday night at his home in Madison. The man sustained minor injuries and was treated and released, police said in a statement. Randle El, a sophomore, was booked on a tentative charge of battery and released from jail, Madison police Sgt. Jim Dexheimer said. Randle El's status with Wisconsin was not immediately known. In June, Randle El entered the Dane County district attorney's First Offenders Program after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct for allegedly shoving his girlfriend in March. He was suspended from the team, but appealed and was allowed to play in the second half of the Badgers' spring practices. Under Wisconsin's student-athlete discipline policy, players arrested or charged with a violent offense are immediately suspended from competition and practices, but they can appeal for reinstatement. Message left for the school's athletic department spokesman were not immediately returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdpal 0 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Not tooo big of a deal. Chancea are the kid would not have played anyway. This guy has had several run-ins with the law in the last 2 years. Was recruited and went to UW with a pretty good chance at a future at WR but has not shown much either on or off the field.

quietfan 233 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Regardless of who he plays for or how it may affect our bowl game, I hate to hear this. Of course, I don't know any more specifics than in that short AP release, but based soley on the two assaults mentioned there--shoving his girlfriend and the last assault for which he was arrested--he sounds like he has a real anger-management problem. Perhaps the last incident had more behind it and involved self-defense or something, but there is never a reason for shoving a female around, particularly severely enough to involve criminal charges. Violence is almost never the answer, but some people seem to think it's actually the best, first response! And of course--and this is entirely idle speculation without any basis other than stereotyping--one always wonders about steroid use when athletes seem to have anger-management problems.
