Days after being named in a domestic violence complaint, University of Colorado assistant coach Joe Tumpkin has been suspended indefinitely pending the completion of a criminal investigation.
Tumkin has been under a temporary restraining order after his ex-girlfriend originally filed the complaint with the Boulder County courts on December 20th. According to the Boulder Daily Camera, the Broomfield Police Department confirmed Tuesday that it has since opened a criminal investigation into the domestic violence allegations made against the 45-year old assistant.
"I am very concerned by the allegations, which don't reflect the high conduct standards I have for our student-athletes and staff," CU Athletic Director Rick George said in a statement on Tuesday.
