UD player arrested
Posted: Fri Jul 10, 2009 9:36 am
Mark Duncan, the University of Delaware football team’s top returning wide receiver, has been charged with two criminal offenses in the wake of his May 30 stabbing.
Newark police charged Duncan with falsely reporting an incident and hindering prosecution. Duncan had gone to Christiana Hospital and told state police he was stabbed while playing basketball on campus that Saturday. Police said he later changed the story and said he was stabbed while walking on Cleveland Avenue and knew his attacker, but would not name the person. Duncan checked himself out of the hospital without being treated and a Newark police officer who had been called to the hospital convinced him to go back for treatment. Duncan later changed the story again, claiming he’d been jumped by four unknown assailants on Cleveland Avenue, according to police.
Newark police issued an arrest warrant after determining that he’d switched his story too many times. Duncan surrendered to police Thursday. He was released and will have a court date.
