Fourth person charged in attack on Montee Ball
MADISON—A fourth person is charged in an attack on Wisconsin star running back Montee Ball last summer.
An arrest warrant has been issued for 27-year-old Karlis Griffin. A criminal complaint says Griffin stomped on Ball’s head during the attack as Ball was walking home with friends at bar time. Ball suffered a concussion and says he doesn’t remember the attack.
The State Journal says unlike the three others charged in the assault, Griffin is not a University of Wisconsin-Madison student and has no permanent address. Griffin is charged with substantial battery.
Two of the three others charged have pleaded guilty to substantial battery and have been placed in a first-offenders program. The third is scheduled for a plea and sentencing hearing on Friday.
