As we knew before we read the report, there was a commotion, Ty got involved to try to keep the player out of trouble, the cops overreacted and arrested him, he didn't want to be arrested and vocalized such preference, and at some point along the way Stan may have come into physical contact with a cop (allegedly); plus Ty showed he has a good sense of humor. The only thing we learned from the police report that is new is that Ty is funny and that the cop is long-winded. Ty's thing will likely be dismissed with some community service or something - this happens every weekend night in just about every city or town in the country. Obviously if you're URI you'd prefer to not have this in the media, but nothing that happened here is what any sane person would call a big deal.

Kingston wrote:I have good knowledge of the incidents that lead to the team being in the bathroom at the concert.

There was an altercation at the concert between the basketball team and another group of men at the concert. The basketball team left the altercation and gathered in bathroom to avoid further conflict. I am high school teacher and had several students at the concert who all gave me the same report. As my students saw the team leave the floor one can only assume Coach Boswell saw the team leave also. Other wise how would he have ended up in that bathroom from the box seats. And as I read in the report Stan was upset about the incident and was angry in the bathroom. Why would a coach be there in the middle of all this. Maybe because his basketball family was in trouble. Think he was there telling the players to go out and fight. probably not. my guess is Stan get a hold of yourself. not worth it. so forth. Seems to me according to the report URI police were trying to disperse and not arrest. Officer Marler comes in late to the seen and makes arrest. Says he has trouble arresting Boswell so URI officer comes to his aid then lets go. I'm sure it very common to help an officer then leave him. Why did that officer stop helping office Marler? My guess not to comfortable with what was taking place. And you hear an officer was struck, not a lawyer but not sure how that stands in court.

my brother is a former police officer and I have the upmost respect for the men and women in blue. And I know its tough to judge when you are not there yourself. But a quick google search of officer Marler comes up with this. (IT WONT LET ME CUT AND PASTE)

Officer Marler gets in a physical arrest with a 60 special needs man which he slaps glasses off a face and maces as well as three close fists punches and a taser. This is after the neighbor tells you the man is special needs. In which you tell him not to do anything STUPID. By the way the offense is a speeding ticket. In which you find the man parked in this own driveway.

" By the events that were explained, i have ideas, But these are teenage students giving me a play by play. My guess is the basketball team will not be in providence this Saturday night.

I'm not following you on this one, Kingston.

Conflicting reports. To this point have not heard anything indicating any URI football players were involved or even in the vicinity.

Rhody83 wrote:I think Kingston is giving Ty too much credit regarding protecting his players. I believe that was his initial intent. Once he was outside the bathroom, his behavior was unacceptable. He was no longer protecting the players and was inciting the crowd outside the bathroom. He was causing a bigger problem. I believe he was given two chances to stop and walk away before he was told he was being arrested. Let's stop blaming the cops.

"...but according to the police report..."

That is one side of the story.

Billyboy78 wrote:Could a 2nd arrest depend on what is revealed in court today? Ty is under oath and has to tell the truth. No janitor stories today.

EGram wrote:IF the Police were going to make any more arrests they would have happened by now. No need to worry about players getting arrested at this point.

The hearings will likely get continued perhaps a couple more times while they hash something out between the lawyers. Eventually Ty will get a small fine and some community service and it will be over.

TruePoint wrote:I feel like people saying that if there has been no arrest so far, there won't be one aren't that familiar with these kinds of investigations. In one sense, the longer it goes could mean it's a more serious charge or they're going after the charge more seriously - if they are lining up witnesses and taking statements, those things take time. Of course, the time that passes doesn't necessarily mean that charges will be forthcoming, because the witnesses could not give testimony that supports the charge they are going for. Or a million other things could be going on behind the scenes. Not really possible to say; the process is opaque by design. But no charges after a week or two does not necessarily mean you're out of the woods. And likely, if he is ever notified that he is out of the woods, the public won't be privy to that. I doubt the player will make any kind of statement acknowledging what happened, and I'm sure the team and school won't.
