TUSCALOOSA | Former University of Alabama football player Reggie Myles has filed a complaint with the University of Florida Police Department alleging that he was attacked by Florida defensive lineman Dominique Easley outside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium shortly after the Crimson Tide's 38-10 win over Florida on Saturday night.

UFPD Sgt. Steve Wilder confirmed that an investigation is ongoing regarding Myles' complaint, but that UFPD has not yet confirmed that Easley was Myles' attacker.

"I'm trying to identify a suspect, who it was that actually hit him and injured him. I'll go from there," Wilder said.

Myles said he learned who his attacker was from Easley's parents, who were at the scene. According to Myles, he was tackled from behind and the attack was unprovoked.

A cell phone, dropped by Myles' assailant before he fled the scene, also may help police make an identification. Myles took possession of the phone and subsequently provided it to police at the scene.

"His parents were asking me for the phone back," Myles said.

Myles was carrying a soft alumimum container of chicken wings at the time, which were splattered on the ground as he informed police of what had happened.

You don't go looking for trouble with a platter of hot wings in your hand,--just sayin...

On Tuesday afternoon, when Johnson was asked why Easley had hired an attorney, he said, "probably because he read the (U.S.) Constitution. It's his right."

UPD Maj. Brad Barber said the incident involving Myles happened at 12:05 a.m. on the Gate 2 walkway at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Myles told police the unprovoked tackle came from behind him, leaving him with pain in his hip and a bloody elbow.

Myles turned over a cell phone to police that he said his attacker dropped at the scene. He also asked police to give him copies of any security tapes that might have captured the incident.

Johnson said he did not know where the cell phone was Tuesday.

Barber said he was not aware of any available surveillance videos. The case remained under investigation, he said, so few details would be released, such as the role the dropped cell phone might play in the case.

"We attempted to interview Easley this afternoon, but his attorney, Huntley Johnson, declined the interview," Barber said. "We will continue the investigation with the information we have at this time."

If Easley's case goes sour, I wouldn't want to be his lawyer.  Just sayin'.

I wonder how much it cost the school for this guy.  :clap:

"Easley is being represented by Huntley Johnson, a Gainesville lawyer with extensive experience representing UF athletes".

I am a pretty lad back guy. But two things of mine you'd better not mess with:

1. My Family.

2. My Chicken Wings.

Has anyone heard anything else on this matter? Has he been suspended for the next game?
 ???

Didn't read all 3 pages so not sure if this has been mentioned, but this clown Myles was at the Swamp(bar) all afternoon getting lit up and yelling roll tide about every 5 minutes. Based on what I saw, he wasn't even going to the game, just "enjoying" the gameday festivities. But when I left, he was already pretty drunk and if he stayed throughout the game, I can only imagine he was hammered by the ned of it. What business, other than starting trouble, does someone have for being where he was, especially after heavy drinking?

And, before someone asks, the reason I'm pretty sure it was him doing shots at the Swamp, a) I was right next to him for about 30 minutes and recognized him, and b) he was wearing his own jersey(not smart when you plan to start trouble). :lol:

And given that he's an adult, the fact that he felt it was a good idea to hang out around the UF players ramp to mock them, says alot about this jack***. Easley may have been wrong in his actions, but this guy was the problem and seemed to seek out an issue. He got what he had coming.

I saw an article that said police were considering charges against Myles for "provocative language."

 :o

In the wake of the incident, Myles was detained and charged by police himself, although Wilder said those charges were separate from the investigation into the attack, and stemmed from Myles being upset about what had happened. Those charges include public intoxication and criminal mischief, according to Myles.

they did arrest him didn't they ? http://www.gatorsports.com/article/20111003/ARTICLES/111009860?p=1&tc=pg

WOW! I missed that, thanks for pointing it out. Well, if he was drunk and running his mouth, then he might have gooten what he was looking for, trouble.
