Gopher Football Player Has Disorderly Conduct Charge Dismissed
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A University of Minnesota football player arrested for getting into an altercation at a campus bar in May had charges against him dismissed on Monday in Hennepin County Court.
Ra'Shede Hageman, 21, was arrested at about 2 a.m. on May 10 after he allegedly got into a fight at Sally's Bar in Dinkytown. Shortly after the incident, a University of Minnesota spokesperson said Hageman was actually trying to break up a fight.
Hageman posted bail the following morning after being charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct. Authorities never said what led up to the altercation and haven't said why the charges were dropped.
Hageman is a redshirt junior for the Gophers and was converted to play defensive end after being a highly-recruited tight end for Minneapolis Washburn. His status with the Gopher football team is unclear at this point. The team is not currently holding official practices and won't be until players report to fall camp in August.
