STILLWATER — Former Oklahoma State running back Tyreek Hill pleaded not guilty Friday to one felony count of domestic violence by strangulation at his trial court arraignment.
Hill entered the same plea at his initial court appearance Jan. 13, according to online court records, following the alleged December choking and punching of his ex-girlfriend Crystal Espinal, who is pregnant with Hill’s child.
Hill and his Stillwater-based attorney Cheryl Ramsey reinforced his position Friday after Payne County special judge Katherine Thomas ruled last month there is sufficient evidence against Hill for a trial.
