FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota State University star linebacker Travis Beck is scheduled to change his plea to a charge of resisting arrest.
The 21-year-old Beck earlier pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charge. The change-of-plea hearing scheduled for Aug. 19 in East Central District Court comes after prosecutors dismissed a more serious felony assault charge in June.
Both charges stemmed from a brawl outside a downtown Fargo restaurant in the early morning hours of June 9. Police said Beck knocked another man unconscious. Prosecutors dismissed the aggravated assault charge against Beck after concluding there was no proof he started the altercation.
Beck is a two-year starter for the two-time NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision champions. He was the most valuable player in the 2012 FCS championship game.
