Louisville DB Terrence Ross suspended after felony assault arrest
Louisville defensive back Terrence Ross has been suspended from the football team following a weekend incident, according to the Courier-Journal.
Ross, a redshirt freshman, was arrested and charged with “felony assault of a probation or police officer, misdemeanor possession of marijuana and disorderly conduct.”
The 21-year-old Ross, who played in three games and registered five tackles for the Cardinals last season, was booked at 1:37 a.m. on Sunday morning and was released after posting $1,000 bail. No details of the arrest were made available.
In a statement from spokesman Rocco Gasparro, Louisville confirmed that it is aware of the incident and that Ross has been suspended.
“The football program is aware of the situation and is continuing to gather information,” Gasparro said. “Terrence Ross has been suspended and the matter will continue to be evaluated.”
According to WAVE-3, Ross was also arrested in November for criminal mischief when he “damaged the door of a residence near the University of Louisville campus in March when he rammed it with his shoulder.”
In addition to his five tackles this season, the 6-foot-1, 200-pound Ross returned two kicks for 28 yards. He missed his true freshman season and took a redshirt in 2013 due to a torn ACL.
