An Ohio University senior and former track athlete pleaded not guilty to two counts of felonious assault yesterday and was released without posting any bond.
Shane D. Gibson, a 24-year-old OU student, was arrested Feb. 18 by Athens police officers after a fight at Courtside Pizza, 85 N. Court St., according to a police report.
Two OU sophomores and an OU junior were injured during the fight, according to the report.
When five APD officers arrived outside Courtside, they found one student lying on the ground bleeding from the head, according to the report. Another student was injured and a third approached police to say that he had been assaulted.
The two injured students were taken to a hospital for treatment of serious injuries, according to the report.
Gibson's trial is scheduled for August 10, 2006.
