Here's the latest on Jacob Fields charges after he was placed in jail in Fort Worth after being charged with aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury.
Former TCU defensive back Jacob Fields faces an aggravated assault charge after a locker room brawl, reported the Sporting News. The incident occurred on August 13 when Fields allegedly punched TCU wide receiver Dozie Ezukanma, causing serious bodily injury. Ezukanma claimed in a video that Fields "sucker punched" him in the face, knocking him unconscious and causing his head to strike the floor.
The Horned Frogs general manager reported the incident to police the following day. Fields was dismissed from the program shortly after the alleged incident took place. The senior safety, who was expected to be a starter in his first season with the team, has apologized for his actions, stating that he made an "emotional decision" and never intended for the situation to escalate as it did.
Ezukanma, who posted a detailed video about the events leading up to the altercation, expressed his desire to see Fields charged with attempted murder.
