Well, you probably saw this one coming. Utah has suspended defensive back Dominique Hatfield for an indefinite amount of time. Hatfield was arrested last week for alleged aggravated robbery, in which the Ute is accused of brandishing a knife and demanding money after luring the alleged victim to a location through an online sales pitch.
Because the incident in question happened just before the July 4th weekend, Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham and the Utah staff have been unable to issue any comments or statements regarding the incident until today. Whittingham, in a released statement, stressed the violent nature of the accusations being the reason to issue the indefinite suspension for the potential starter.
Hatfield started 10 games at cornerback for Utah last season after making the transition to the defensive side of the football from wide receiver. Now it will be largely up to the legal process to determine his fate with the Utah program in 2015.
