Rams rookie tight end Tyler Higbee pled NOT GUILTY to assaulting a man outside of a Kentucky bar back in April -- in an incident where Higbee allegedly hurled racial slurs at a Middle Eastern man. Higbee was arrested on April 10th -- after officials say Higbee beat up Nawaf Alsaleh so badly, he gave the guy a concussion and a brain hemorrhage. A witness told police that before the incident, Higbee and another man had been hurling slurs at Alsaleh. According to the police report, Higbee denied most of the slurs -- but admitted saying, "Watch out, Haji" after he punched him in the face. Cops say Higbee initially fled the scene -- and officers gave chase -- with Higbee trying to hide behind a tree next to a church. He was eventually discovered and arrested. Cops say he was drunk. Higbee was later charged with 2nd degree assault, 2nd degree evading police and public intoxication. He's pled not guilty to all charges -- with his attorney insisting the 24-year-old was only acting in self defense after Alsaleh got aggressive and physical with Tyler and his girlfriend. Higbee is due back in court in June. Edited May 5, 201610 yr by Jumper_Dad R8
May 6, 201610 yr Tried to hide behind a tree...that's hilarious! He must have never played hide and seek or cops and robbers as a child. They always look behind the tree! Oh yeah, @75center's comment comes into play here.

Higbee is due back in court in June. Alsaleh is either a BIG DUDE or is an awfully brave one, if that version of the story ends up being true.
May 6, 201610 yr If I remember the article correctly, the victim was knocked unconscious for 20 minutes. That's pretty scary.
May 8, 201610 yr Could be much worse. I remember the man who was jumped at Dickmanns. Lost his life when he fell and hit his head.

Higbee is due back in court in June." I know, innocent until proven guilty...but excuse me if my first instinct was to let out a sarcastic "laugh" when I read this.
