Spartan Hopeful Back in Court

A probable cause hearing continues today in Wayne County for a man once thought to be a future Spartan football player.

The Detroit News is reporting today that Jayru Campbell is back in court to resume a hearing that began last month to determine if there is enough evidence to bind him over to Circuit Court for trial on claims he assaulted a woman during a dispute involving a telephone.

The case is just the last brush with the law for the Cass Tech High School standout.

Campbell was just 17 at the time when he body-slammed a security guard at his high school who had asked that he remove his hood. He was sentenced to just 60 days in jail for the incident.

This latest incident involves a 17-year-old girl.  The woman claims Campbell allegedly assaulted her during an unarmed robbery.  He denies the claim.
