Washington State police want USC's Jimmons charged with felony for decking fan
Washington State University police are calling for Liam Jimmons to be charged with felony assault after the USC defensive lineman decked a fan, according to Elena Gardner of KXLY 4 News.
An unidentified USC player, later revealed to be Jimmons, was caught on video delivering a hit to a Washington State fan following the Trojans' loss on Sept. 29. The fan has reportedly been admitted to hospital twice after suffering a concussion from the incident.
