Detroit Cass Tech football star Jayru Campbell will spend two months in jail as part of his sentence in connection with an assault on a school security officer, Elisha Anderson reports in the Free Press.
Campbell, 17, was ordered to turn himself in July 28, giving him time to complete summer school. He'll serve 60 days in the Wayne County Jail, minus three days credit for time served.
“Mr. Campbell’s regrettable lack of self-control and his violent response to legitimate school authority has to be sanctioned,” Wayne County Judge Timothy Kenny said. “No matter who you are.”
Campbell had been charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm, a felony, and aggravated assault, a misdemeanor, after he slammed a 23-year-old security officer to the ground on Jan. 22 inside Cass Tech. Campbell pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor during a plea deal struck earlier this month. The felony charge was dismissed.
