University of Wisconsin football players Booker Stanley and Marcus Randle El both received suspensions from the team following police entanglements in December.

Court documents show Stanley faces a total of nine charges following a pair of heated disputes he allegedly had with his girlfriend in December and July. He has been charged with felony counts of second-degree sexual assault, second-degree recklessly endangering safety and bail jumping, as well as four misdemeanor counts of battery and two misdemeanor counts of bail jumping.

The running back still faces charges from an arrest at the Mifflin Street Block Party last April.

Teammate Randle El received misdemeanor charges of battery and bail jumping after police arrested him Dec. 16. He allegedly punched former teammate Nicholas Sutton in the face.

Randle El received suspensions for four practices, but appealed to the athletic appeals committee. He was reinstated to the team before the Capitol One Bowl Jan. 2.

Stanley, still on suspension from the team, has not made such an appeal and was unable to play in the bowl game.

Justin Doherty — speaking on behalf of university athletic communications — said the athletic department dealt with these incidents as they are regulated by their discipline policy.

"The procedure is that we will communicate a suspension to people if there is one, and then we will communicate the results of an appeal," he said. "That's the only communication we'll make."

Doherty said the athletic department has not taken further measures against the two players.

Complaint: Stanley allegedly violated, battered girlfriend

According to the criminal complaint, three-year girlfriend Angela Dobbe told police that she and Stanley disputed rent money in the early hours of Dec. 21 at their off-campus apartment.
Stanley, who was in the First Offender's Program, was set to appear in court the following day in relation to his battery charges in May.

But according to Mike Verveer, an assistant district attorney, Stanley's guilty plea in the First Offender's Program is now "off the table."

"Generally, if you're in this program and you pick up a new criminal charge you are immediately terminated," he said.

The complaint states:

Dobbe told police that Stanley came up to her and held onto her and began sexually assaulting her. She continued crying out for help and struggling but was unable to break free.

She said Stanley finally released her and began searching her purse for rent money. She pleaded with him to leave the money. Stanley then threw the money to the ground but as Dobbe began to pick it up, he forced her onto the stairs. She told police they struggled and he said to her, "I'm going to kill you. Do you want to die?"

Dobbe said Stanley strangled her three times and Dobbe told police officers she believed she was going to pass out.

Their struggle intensified when Stanley's cell phone rang and Dobbe learned it was a female calling him, Dobbe said. Stanley then pushed her down the staircase. Stanley was later arrested when police arrived.

Dobbe also told police Stanley slapped her four or five times in early July when he accused her of cheating on him.

According to the complaint, Stanley was then released from jail after the Dec. 21 altercation under the condition he have no contract, direct or indirect, with Dobbe. But Dobbe told police Stanley then called her more than ten times between Dec. 26 and Dec. 29.

The complaint states he appeared in court Jan. 9 without a defending attorney. Stanley will again appear in court Jan. 30.

Randle El initiates altercation with friend

Although he faces misdemeanor charges of battery and bail jumping, Randle El's attorney Charles Giesen said Randle El believes himself innocent.

"He absolutely denies the charges that he battered anyone," Giesen said.

Furthermore, Giesen said Randle El's previous charges are separate and distinct matters from his current case. The sophomore wide receiver pled guilty to disorderly conduct in June 2005, when he shoved his girlfriend after an argument.

In his Dec. 16 charges, the criminal complaint states:

Sutton told police he went to Randle El's Regent Street residence to play video games and hang out when the two began disputing money. According to Sutton, Randle El lost money and then accused him of taking it.

But Randle El told officers he believed Sutton had taken money from him. Randle El said he won approximately $300 from Sutton the night before from gambling.

Both quarreled and Randle El told police he and Sutton were arguing in the hallway and were in “each other's faces."

Sutton said Randle El hit him four to five times in the mouth, nose and face with what he believed was a gun.

However, Randle El told police his cell phone may have been mistaken for a gun and he did not have a weapon. He stated he took a step back and believed Sutton thought he was going to start an attack.

Randle El claimed Sutton's face may have run into his hands and said he only pushed Sutton once.

Officers observed Sutton bleeding in the mouth and from the lips.

Randle El is scheduled to a pre-trial conference and a trial, possibly in the spring, Giesen said.
