No details of what led to the on-campus incident have been detailed.
Howard was officially charged with with two counts of assault in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree. He has been indefinitely suspended from the university as he’s still enrolled as a student, two years after he “parted ways” with the football team.
