Former Rutgers Football Player Pleads Guilty to 2 Different Fighting Charges

Rutgers - The fall-out from the Rutgers 2015 football team scandal continues.

A former player on the Rutgers football team pleaded guilty Friday to charges stemming from two separate fights, reports NJ.com: Ruhann Peele admitted to disorderly conduct for punching another student in a fight over a parking space on Delafield Street. The victim ended up with a broken jaw in that incident. He also pleaded guilty Friday to third-degree aggravated assault for punching a man in October near Easton Avenue and Mine Street, in an unrelated incident.

Peele was part of six current and former Rutgers football players arrested in 2015. The football players were charged with a string of violent assaults, armed robberies and home invasions, where police said they were targeting other students' homes for drugs and cash. All the players were kicked off the team after the arrests, and the scandal ultimately even brought down Rutgers' athletic director Julie Hermann and head football coach Kyle Flood, who were both fired in late November 2015.
