Report: Pitt DE Dayon Hayes Charged With Assault
PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers received some unpleasant news little more than a day after they had beaten No. 20 Syracuse, 19-9, at home to halt a 1-3 spiral over their last four games.
Defensive end Dayon Hayes, a promising reserve player for Pitt who appeared in that game, was charged with assault, according to a report from WXPI. The name and date of birth listed on court documents outlining the charges align with Hayes'.
Police arrived at an apartment on East Hills Drive in Pittsburgh to respond to a call from a woman who said she had been fighting with Hayes, her boyfriend and the father of her child. The woman alleges that Hayes pulled her hair, pressed her head against a wall and refused to let her leave a room in the apartment.
Hayes has a preliminary hearing scheduled for November 22.
Inside the Panthers has reached out to the Pitt football team for comment but has not received anything back to this point.
