Philip Nelson’s disastrous stint in the Rutgers football program is over. The quarterback – who transferred from Minnesota in January – was dismissed from the program Tuesday following his weekend arrest for assault.
Nelson was charged with one count of first degree assault and one count of third degree assault in connection with a bar fight in Mankato, Minn., that left 24-year-old Isaac Kolstad in critical condition.
Scarlet Knights coach Kyle Flood made the announcement via a statement.
“The Rutgers football family’s thoughts and prayers are with Isaac Kolstad and his family,” said Flood, who was not available for comment.
Nelson appeared in Blue Earth County court Monday wearing an orange jail jumpsuit, with his hands cuffed and his ankles chained. First degree assault carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
He requested an omnibus hearing, which is a pretrial hearing, essentially to determine the admissibility of evidence – including testimony and evidence seized at the time of arrest. Nelson posted a $20,000 bail with conditions Monday night.
While Nelson was in court, Kolstad was in the Mayo Clinic in Mankato. According to the complaint filed Monday afternoon, a neurosurgeon with the hospital said Kolstad was suffering from “a severe head injury and a severe pulmonary injury” and medical personnel are not sure whether the victim will survive the attack.
In the complaint, witnesses described Nelson as being upset over attention being paid to his girlfriend. A police sergeant who viewed surveillance video described Kolstad – who played football at Minnesota State – as striking Nelson in the back, then moving away and being pursued and struck by an unidentified man, who fled the scene.
Mankato Police confirmed a second suspect has been arrested in connection with the assault.
“Nelson pushes past others, approaches I.K. and delivers at least one kick to the left side of I.K.’s head. Sergeant Knutson noted that the video clearly shows that I.K. was defenseless as Nelson delivers the kick or kicks to the head,’’ the complaint reads.
Nelson started for two years at Minnesota before transferring to Rutgers. He would have sat out the upcoming season – the Scarlet Knights’ first in the Big Ten – but then had two years of eligibility left.
With incumbent starter Gary Nova graduating after this year, Nelson would have been a legitimate contender to earn the starting job. The Scarlet Knights have no quarterbacks on the roster other than Nova who have thrown a pass in a college game.

The Spokane Brewers Festival returns Aug. 4, a little more compact and a lot cooler.
The third annual event moves inside the air-conditioned comfort of the Spokane Arena after a pair of sweltering years outside in the parking lot. Last year’s festival also saw wildfire smoke which triggered a case of emphysema.
The all-ages event has been trimmed from two days to one, mostly to make it more convenient for out-of-town brewers who now won’t need to spend the night, Gibson said.
There are 30 participating breweries and cideries this year, down from last year’s 40. That’s largely because of brewers’ scheduling issues, Gibson said, though it also helps keep things manageable. “It got a little crazy last year,” he said.
Newcomers on the list include English Setter, Millwood Brewing, Wallace Brewing, Wenatchee Valley, Ice Harbor (Kennewick), Hop Nation (Yakima) and Seattle gluten-free specialist Ghostfish.
There’s also a new cidery, Liberty, joining returnees North Idaho Cider, One Tree, Summit, Tieton and Whiskey Barrel.
Returning local breweries include Badass Backyard, Bellwether, Bennidito’s, Black Label, Iron Goat, Little Spokane, No-Li, Post Falls, River City, Steam Plant, TT’s Old Iron, V Twin and Young Buck. Also back again are Hunga Dunga (Moscow), Ordnance (Boardman, Oregon), Yakima Craft and California’s Lagunitas.
Each will pour two beers, with a third in reserve in case kegs blow. There will be live music throughout the day along with food trucks.
Pricing is the same as last year: $25 in advance, $30 at the door (free for children accompanied by parents, $5 for designated drivers). That includes a tasting mug and 13 tokens good for 2-ounce pours (extra tokens $1 each). Parking in the Arena lot costs $10.
The money goes to a different charity this time: the Wishing Star Foundation, which replaces last year’s Feeding Washington.
Humble Abode, a one-barrel nanobrewery, has received its state license and is busy brewing in anticipation of a mid-August opening at 1620 E. Houston (north of Francis and east of Nevada).
Spokane Valley startup Bardic Brewing has launched a Kickstarter campaign for phase one of its project, a cidery. Plans call for a brewery and a full-scale brewpub with food to follow over the next two years.
Sandpoint’s Utara Brewing, a planned British-style ale and curry house, has opened Monday through Saturday serving guest beers for starters. Look for the first house beers in early August followed by appetizers later in the month.

MickDuff’s is the latest regional brewery to offer beer to go in custom-filled crowler cans, which also now are available at Spokane’s Community Pint beer bar.
Little Spokane’s dry, crisp SOGO summer pale (5.8 percent alcohol by volume, 32 International Bitterness Units) has a floral, earthy hop aroma with a fruity finish.
English Setter is serving a lighter-bodied but still roasty Padfoot Porter (6.3, 39) along with a small-batch Martin’s Red Collar imperial red (9.8).
Whistle Punk’s dark, sessionable English Mild (3.9) is brewed with Belgian specialty malts for plum and caramel notes.
The easy-drinking Coil Box Brown (5.6, 36) from TT’s Old Iron is hopped with Chinook.
The latest in Young Buck’s series of experimental IPAs, Warp 9 (7, 65), gets spicy notes from rye malt and a fruity hop character from Azacca, Amarillo and Glacier.
Mountain Lakes’ Nutty Spaceman (4.9, 44) is a variation on its English Golden infused with almond and local cold brew Spaceman Coffee.
Five downtown-area breweries – Belllwether, Black Label, Mountain Lakes, Whistle Punk and Young Buck – will serve summery single-malt, single-hop beers in August, with the winner in customer voting receiving the inaugural Lester Cup. Look for more info in our next On Tap.
Bellwether’s biweekly Year of the Sainted Brewers series continues Thursday with a wine barrel-aged Albion heather ale honoring St. Abdon, the patron saint of barrel-makers.
Community Pint celebrates its first anniversary Aug. 1-4 with a series of special tappings.
River City’s monthly First Friday garage party Aug. 3 will feature $4 pints plus live music by the South Hill and food from D. Lish’s hamburgers and the Scoop ice cream.

Cost is $55 (includes tax and tip); call (509) 747-3946 for reservations.
More than 30 breweries and cideries will pour for the sixth annual Ales for the Trail on Aug. 11 in Coeur d’Alene’s McEuen Park, to benefit the North Idaho Centennial Trail Foundation. Look for full details in the next On Tap.
Roman Pirozek Jr., 19, died in Brooklyn's Calvert Vaux Park on Thursday.
The New York teen who died while piloting a remote-controlled helicopter was likely attempting high-speed, freestyle 3-D flying maneuvers and had a mechanical failure with his equipment that led to the fatal crash, according to an expert who viewed a clip the pilot had recently posted online.
Roman Pirozek Jr., 19, died in Brooklyn's Calvert Vaux Park on Thursday when a remote-controlled helicopter he was piloting hit him in the head. A video posted to YouTube in July shows what seems to be Pirozek piloting a T-Rex 700N DFC, which can hold 28-inch main blades that, according to Whey Roberts, an expert on these types of machines, spin at speeds up to 4,000 RPM.
Roberts told ABCNews.com that Pirozek, who was a member of a small group of remote control chopper pilots, was doing some "serious stunts" and he believes it was a problem with the aircraft that led the helicopter to crash and kill the teen.
"There was something wrong with that helicopter," Roberts said. "I've seen many [of Pirozek's] videos -- I was looking at the helicopter as it took off, and had noticed strange oscillation. There was an imbalance somewhere there, something was off slightly. It was minute."
Roberts, who lives in Brooklyn, constructs and sells remote-controlled helicopters as a second income. He said that though Pirozek's skill level was good, nitro fuel powered helicopters have a lot more power, and that he personally won't partake in 3D flying, as it's inherently dangerous.
"They do things that real helicopters can't do," he said. "Flipping around, side-to-side, upside-down. It's really wild, and it takes a good brain for that. No thank you. Regular flight is hard enough as it is."
Even slight mechanical failures, such as a losing the craft's tail rotor, can cause a model aircraft to spin wildly out of control.
The park where Pirozek was piloting his aircraft Thursday was a safe, sanctioned location for flight, designated by New York City as a "model aircraft field." The Academy of Model Aeronautics has a strict set of safety guidelines for pilots that aircraft must not be used in a careless or reckless manner.
But Roberts said that the size of the aircraft made it dangerous to fly 3D maneuvers..
"With helicopters you have to have the utmost concentration," he said. "With planes you can get away with a little bit. With the larger helicopters, you've got to be more mindful of where you are. Anything can happen."
Pirozek's death is said to be only the second such death by remote-controlled helicopter ever in the United States. The Associated Press reported that a few years ago an instructor in Texas was killed by a remote-controlled helicopter after the student he was teaching lost control of it.
SINGAPORE, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Global private equity firm General Atlantic confirmed on Monday that it had hired Ashish Saboo, a veteran dealmaker from Indonesian conglomerate CT Corp, to head its business in Southeast Asia’s biggest economy.
Citing sources, Reuters had reported earlier in the day that Jakarta-based Saboo had been hired as a managing director and would be responsible for General Atlantic’s first office in the country.
“We have a long track record of investing in emerging markets and we firmly believe that the most effective way to build partnerships with the most promising growth companies is through having a presence on the ground,” Sandeep Naik, head of India & Asia-Pacific at General Atlantic, said in a statement.
Saboo, who led business development at CT Corp for more than a decade and helped the conglomerate expand in the consumer sector, is also a co-founder of Mansionly, a service platform for interior and lifestyle services.
General Atlantic has invested more than $200 million in Southeast Asia and its current portfolio companies in the region include Indonesian food and beverage retailer PT MAP Boga Adiperkasa and Singapore-based online gaming and e-commerce firm Sea Ltd.
Winston lost control of the football before he went airborne over the top of cornerback Tyler Patmon and before he crossed the goal line. Patmon and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence covered the loose ball in the end zone.
Heath saw the flag before most of his teammates. He was hoping for the best, but figured the worst.
Replays showed officials could have called the Cowboys for any one of three defensive holding penalties on the play. Heath grabbed receiver Russell Shepard first, and then safety J.J. Wilcox latched on. Mike Evans also was held.
Heath, who had no holding calls before Sunday, was the player officials cited. It gave the Bucs a first down at the 1.
“Guys are all just running across the field,” Heath said. “We ended up kind of zoning it off. I don’t know. It happens kind of fast. I just saw a white jersey flash in front of me, and he felt open. I just ... I don’t know.
The Bucs scored the winning touchdown on the next play — a Winston bootleg around right end with 54 seconds remaining.
“We’ve got to do a better job trying not to hold when we play man-to-man — as a team,” Hitchens said.
Heath had a game to remember before the play to forget, intercepting Winston twice to thwart scoring opportunities for the Bucs.
His first came late in the second quarter when he picked off Winston on a tipped ball at the 5-yard line after Tampa Bay had reached the Dallas 26. His second came midway through the fourth quarter when he caught a tipped ball at the Dallas 9 after the Bucs had reached the 23.
It marked the first two-interception game by a Dallas player since Bruce Carter had two at Washington last December. It was only the fifth and sixth takeaways for the Cowboys this season.
“Both of them happened in zone defense,” Heath said. “Everyone’s vision is on the quarterback. You can kind of tell when the ball’s a little off the mark. Those haven’t been going our way these last eight games, and they went our way today.
In the end, though, it was a footnote in yet another loss.
“At the end of the day, nothing came out of it, really,” Patmon said.
Star-Telegram columnist Mac Engel laments what is shaping up to be the worst season ever under Jerry Jones (video by Mac Engel/Star-Telegram).
Provost numbered the “migrant” caravan in the Tijuana area at 6,000, with about 1,000 participating in the assault. Department of Homeland Security boss Krystjen Neilsen had identified more than 500 criminals and said they used women and children as “human shields” in the assault. The violence did not bother Democrats, who preferred to target the Border Patrol’s response.
Hawaii Democrat Sen. Brian Schatz questioned whether the border patrol had deployed “chemical weapons” and demanded to know who gave the order. Democrats made no such demand when the administration of POTUS 44 deployed tear gas 26 times in 2012 and 27 times in 2013. In 2013, under the same administration, the Border Patrol used Pava Capasaicin, also known as pepper spray, a full 151 times. This willful ignorance was hardly the only lapse of Democrats and their media allies.
Many in the caravan doubtless want jobs but in the left’s default view the migrants are asylum seekers fleeing violence and persecution in their own countries. Even if those claims were legitimate, it does not follow that they should move to the United States.
As a glance at the map confirms, Honduras and El Salvador are close to Costa Rica and Panama, where the migrants could find safety. Mexico also offered asylum, which most migrants rejected. Organizers of this caravan, headed by Pueblo Sin Fronteras, aimed for the United States, but not just anywhere.
