One week after resigning his post as an assistant coach at Colorado, Joe Tumpkin has been charged with felony assault.
According to a police report obtained by Mark Belcher of 7NEWS Denver, Tumpkin allegedly strangled an ex-girlfriend and used his hands as a "deadly weapon" in multiple incidents. He is charged with five counts of felony second-degree assault and three counts of misdemeanor third-degree assault.
Colorado had previously suspended Tumpkin after the ex-girlfriend filed for a restraining order, citing incidents of abuse between Feb. 27, 2015, and Nov. 20, 2016. Police launched a subsequent investigation, and university officials asked for his resignation.
