Springfield (KMTR) - Another University of Oregon football player is in trouble with the law.
In an arraignment Wednesday, University of Oregon football player LaMichael James, 20, was charged with misdemeanor assault, physical harassment and strangulation. James pleaded not guilty.
According to police, James was arrested Tuesday evening at an apartment on Kinsrow in Springfield. Police say officers received a report from a woman claiming to be James' girlfriend that she had been assaulted. They say the assault happened Monday evening.
According to Springfield police, the woman told officers she went to talk to James at his residence on Gateway, they got into an argument outside the apartment and James allegedly grabbed her throat and pushed her to the ground. She suffered cuts and bruises.
The next court date in the case is scheduled for March 24th.
James is a standout running back on the Oregon football team. He was the first freshman on record to win the school’s Most Outstanding Player award, according to the team’s website.
James replaced the suspended LeGarrette Blount after the season opener and set the Pac-10's freshman rushing mark this past season with 1,546 yards.
