ERIC BIENIEMY, a San Diego Chargers running back and former Colorado football star, was arrested for investigation of harassing a parking lot attendant at the University of Miami-Colorado University game on Saturday. Less than an hour later, one of Bieniemy's party was arrested for investigation of hitting a witness during the incident, an arrest report said
Bieniemy, 24, and Calvin Lucas Graham, 27, of Denver were taken to Boulder County Jail.
Bieniemy also was named in an outstanding warrant on a charge of driving with a suspended license. He was released Saturday on $400 bond.
'
The arrest report outlined the incident: Bieniemy was with five friends in a parking lot when he allegedly approached a lot attendant from behind and grabbed her by the neck. The victim told police the contact was not painful, but it startled her. She said the man also made comments while holding her.
''She stated that the male who grabbed her said something about 'a bunch of black males all at once being her worst nightmare,' '' according to the report.
The victim told police the group of men then dropped their pants and began urinating nearby.
She then contacted another attendant, who began to follow the group.
That attendant radioed in to his office that the men were urinating in public and pouring beer on cars. A Colorado police officer stopped Bieniemy's group and the attendant who said she was harassed identified Bieniemy.
Later, the second attendant told police that the same group of men, minus Bieniemy, approached him as he sat in a parking management vehicle and hit him on the right side of the face while raising questions about what he had seen earlier. Two other parking attendants identified Graham as the man who struck the attendant.
Bieniemy had frequent brushes with the law while a student at the university. The most notable occurred July 4, 1990. Bieniemy pleaded no contest in an incident in which he was accused of shoving a firefighter who had responded to his mother's house in Denver to douse a garage fire. Bieniemy received an eight-month suspended sentence. He also was arrested for leaving the scene of an accident and assaulting a man at a Boulder nightclub, among other incidents.
Here's to hoping he grew past the mischief he took part in, in his younger days. He's had plenty of time to live it down, so I'm not going to hold it against him. Heck, I'm sure that if you dug enough, you could find an astounding number of incidents involving college football players, particularly back in the days before political correctness took over, and drunken antics by football players was pretty much expected.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
