Rutgers dismissed linebacker Izaia Bullock from the football program Tuesday after the 22-year-old was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted murder in the first degree and two counts of conspiracy to commit murder in the first degree, the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office said in a statement.
The Piscataway, N.J. native "initiated a plot to murder the family members of an acquaintance" on Monday, Oct. 29, according to the statement. The intended victims are not affiliated with Rutgers University and were not injured.
Bullock was charged after an investigation by the Rutgers University Police Department and the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office.
