After a period of relative calm on the legal front, it’s once again time to reset the “Days Without An Arrest” ticker back to double zeroes.
According to both Pullman Radio News and the Spokesman-Review, Washington State linebacker Logan Tago was arrested for second-degree assault and second-degree robbery. Both of those charges are felonies.
Tago was arrested when he came into the Pullman Police station to be interviewed by detectives in connection to a June incident. From the Spokesman-Review:
The alleged victim was able to positively identify Tago as one of his assailants. Thus far, Tago is the only individual who has been charged, although “other persons of interest have been identified” by detectives.
The sophomore started the Cougars’ season-opener at RUSH linebacker. He has been listed as a co-starter on the depth chart leading into the Week 3 game with Idaho.
Tago’s incident is the third involving assaults in the last three months for a current Cougar. Police are still investigating a brawl at a backyard party in July that allegedly involved multiple WSU football players and which one alleged victim was knocked unconscious for 10 minutes and another sustaining a broken jaw that’s going to require reconstructive surgery. Additionally, safety Shalom Luani was arrested in late August for second-degree assault.
