Boulder police arrested a University of Colorado football player today in connection with the assault of another CU student at an off-campus party last month.
Freshman linebacker Lynn Katoa, 18, turned himself in today and is being held at the Boulder County Jail on $5,000 bond on suspicion of second-degree assault, police said.
Police were called to an apartment in the 1000 block of 12th Street early Feb. 16 on a report of an assault. Witnesses told police that a member of the football team –- later identified as Katoa –- came through the door, yelling, then pushed one victim’s head into the wall and hit him in the forehead while holding a rock in his fist.
The suspect then punched a second victim in the head.
The first victim, Cameron Shafer, was taken to the hospital, where he required stitches. The second victim declined to pursue charges. The suspects were no longer on scene when officers arrived.
According to police, further investigation revealed that the assault stemmed from an altercation that had occurred outside the apartment building a short while earlier.
In the course of the preceding fight, one of Katoa’s friends was shocked by a stun gun, angering Katoa. The men with the stun gun took off in a vehicle while others chased them.
Katoa is accused of picking up a rock and going inside the house to confront some of the other occupants, police said. The suspects involved in the stun gun incident have not yet been identified.
Katoa graduated early from Salt Lake City's Cottonwood High School to get an early start on academics at CU and preparing for next season with the Buffs.
The linebacker was one of the Buffs' top recruits, earning consensus All-American honors after last season.
Rivals.com ranked him as the No. 2 inside linebacker in the nation and the No. 62 ranked player in the country. As a senior, he recorded 175 tackles, with 33 for losses and six quarterback sacks to go with five forced fumbles, two recoveries and an interception.
