Grizzly Football Player Pleads Guilty to Criminal Mischief – Pays Fine
MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — Montana's starting free safety has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor criminal mischief for breaking a directional sign after a night of drinking.
The Missoulian reports 21-year-old Matthew Brian Hermanson entered his plea in Justice Court on Monday and was fined $635.
Hermanson was arrested on Sept. 22 after a sheriff's deputy saw someone throw a large, white object onto the road. The sergeant found Hermanson, shirtless and bleeding, walking along the road.
Hermanson, a junior from Sioux Falls, S.D., was suspended from the football team for one game after his arrest.
