Utah wide receiver Kenric Young given assault citation

A witness at the party, who asked to remain anonymous in fear of retaliation, said the fight started after a neighbor asked Young to pull his pants up because “there were women and children present.” The witness said Young yelled obscenities at the individual and “threw his beer in my neighbor’s face.”

A fight ensued as multiple people swarmed, according to the witness. A video obtained by KSL.com shows the fight at the pool; however, the individuals involved could not be positively identified.

“When we learned of the accusations against Kenric Young we contacted University of Utah Police Chief Dale Brophy and asked if he could obtain more information from the North Salt Lake police on what happened," Whittingham said. "We will cooperate fully with any police investigation and once we learn the facts, we will take any appropriate disciplinary measures.”
