Weber State U. newspaper takes heat for reporting about player charges
By Joel Campbell
A Weber State University football star was in court Nov. 6 on assault charges for hitting people with his car back in July. But he’s not the only one facing judgment; the university’s student paper is taking heat from some fans for breaking the story.
Bryant Eteuati is becoming as well known off the field as he is on. The start receiver is facing felony aggravated assault charges, as well as leaving the scene of an accident, communication fraud and retail theft charges.
The school paper, The Signpost, was the first to break the story when Eteuati was arrested in October for outstanding warrants and called the coaches for reaction. See full story at KSL-TV
and at the Signpost.
