Four SBU Basketball Players Arrested

Four St. Bonaventure University men's basketball players have been arrested on violations in connection with a fight they had with members of the JCC men’s basketball team when two people got stabbed with a screwdriver.

State police arrested 20-year-old Malcolm Eleby of Philadelphia; 18-year-old Brett Roseboro of Allentown, Pa.; 22-year-old Da'Quan Cook of Elizabeth, N.J.; and 22-year-old Lewis Leonard of Olean.

All four were charged with at least one count of second-degree harassment and disorderly conduct. Violations, which are considered non-criminal and less serious than misdemeanors or felonies, rarely lead to jail time. The university hasn’t said what disciplinary action it may take.

The injured JCC players are 20-year-old Rameek Boyd and 20-year-old James Chatmon. They were treated at Olean General Hospital for minor stab wounds, then released.

How can they allow them to get off with just harassment and disorderly conduct. I am a Bonaventure student and even I know they all should have been charged with third degree assault they stabbed two people. This is just a way of saying if you play D1 ball you can just go around stabbing people and get off with harassment.The last time I checked under New York State Law Harassment in the Second Degree does not require that you cause any physical injury, substantial or otherwise, to the victim. Stabbing two people with a screwdriver is defintely assault, not harassment.

Corbett said the nearly 2-year long grand jury investigation, known as “Operation Diamond Drop,” used court-ordered wiretaps, undercover surveillance and controlled drug purchases to identify large-scale cocaine and marijuana traffickers in the region. “Drug trafficking at this level is ‘big business’, including upper-level suppliers, mid-level distributers and street-level sales people,” Corbett said. “Our investigations focus on following the drugs and money to their source, allowing us to attack an entire drug distribution network when we make our arrests.” Corbett said the chief figure charged today is Miguel Angel Burgos, 31, 9891 Holly...
