Joshua Tupou Arrested on Assault Charges: Latest Details and Comments

Joshua Tupou, a defensive lineman at the University of Colorado, was arrested and faces assault charges stemming from an incident at a party in February. 

According to Mitchell Byars of The Denver Post, Tupou turned himself in to police Thursday after they claimed he assaulted three men:

"

Tupou, 20, turned himself in to the Boulder County Sheriff's Office on Thursday after a judge issued a warrant for his arrest on suspicion of second-degree assault, two counts of third-degree assault, criminal mischief, trespassing and reckless endangerment, according to court records.

According to Boulder police, officers were called at 1:30 a.m. Feb. 14 after a large fight between multiple people that started at a nearby party spilled out onto College Avenue between 10th and 13th streets. 

"

The school was made aware of the alleged incident days after it is said to have occurred, with Colorado athletics spokesman Dave Plati telling Byars in a separate report for the Daily Camera at the time that "there is nothing to substantiate that any of our players were involved."

In the arrest report from Byars, citing the affidavit, Tupou is said to have made a hole in a privacy fence and tackled a guest at the party before punching him multiple times. 

Tupou has been a starter on Colorado's defense for three years, recording three sacks in 12 games last season. There have been no reports at this point about what, if any, possible punishments the 325-pounder could face from the school or football team.
