2 players charged in assault approved for bond
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) – Two high school basketball players charged with assaulting a teammate at Ooltewah High School have been approved for bonds of $5,000.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports the bond approval for the two 16-year-olds, each charged with aggravated rape and aggravated assault was released on Friday. A 17-year-old also charged in the case is yet to file a motion requesting bond, records show.
One of the 16-year-olds posted the $5,000 bond after a hearing on Dec. 30. The other requested bond on Jan 11, but court officials could not confirm if his bond has been posted.
Three players are charged with aggravated rape but haven’t been named because they’re juveniles. The incident allegedly happened Dec. 22 at a Gatlinburg cabin while the team was at a tournament.
