PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Rutgers receiver Leonte Carroo has pleaded not guilty to a domestic violence-related assault charge after authorities say he slammed a woman onto concrete after a football game.
Piscataway Municipal Court records show that Carroo's lawyer entered the plea by fax and waived his client's first court appearance. Carroo is due in court on Oct. 1, and the Edison resident remains on indefinite suspension from the football team.
Carroo was "known to date" the victim, authorities have said. He remains free on $1,000 bail.
