Police file assault charges against former Utah cornerback Dominique Hatfield

SALT LAKE CITY - Utah cornerback Dominique Hatfield has been charged with misdemeanor assault in a fight during a party last month.

Salt Lake City detective Cody Lougy says neither a summons to appear nor a warrant has been issued but the investigation is ongoing.

A man told police he was attacked by four or five people during a party on July 5. Lougy says the man identified Hatfield and said other Utah athletes were at the party. The man was treated at the hospital for a cut on the nose, a bump on the head and bruises to the face and body.

Hatfield was dismissed from the team last month after he was charged in a separate case with aggravated robbery and theft. Prosecutors dropped charges last week, but say they could refile altered charges.

Hatfield's lawyer Greg Skordas was not immediately available for comment.
