Bowling Green Athletics announced the Bowling Green State University Police Department charged Memphis guard Jamirah Shutes with assault. On Thursday night, Shutes allegedly punched Bowling Green’s Elissa Brett after the Falcons’ WNIT victory over the Tigers. Brett, who was on the ground following the punch, is doing well, according to the school.
“Violence is never acceptable and our priority remains the health, safety and support of our student-athlete, who is recovering and doing well,” the school said in a statement, via WREG sports reporter Colin Cody. “This is an active investigation in conjunction with the City of Bowling Green Prosecutor and no further comment is available at this time.”
