STORRS, Conn. (AP) -A Hartford lawyer says police have told him his client will be arrested in the stabbing death of Connecticut football player Jasper Howard.
Attorney Deron Freeman declined to identify his client, but says the Bloomfield man and others got into a fight “with about six” UConn football players early Sunday after a campus dance.
Freeman says his client did not stab Howard, but was there when it happened.
He said police searched his client’s home in Bloomfield and removed some items. Freeman said he was told Monday an arrest warrant will be issued in the next few days, and that others will be arrested.
It would be the second arrest connected to the stabbing. Johnny Hood, 21, of Hartford, was arraigned Monday on charges of interfering with an officer and breach of peace.
