A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper is facing a criminal complaint after elbowing two South Carolina football players during a game last month. The incident has deeply affected one of the players, Oscar Adaway the Third, who has sought professional help due to the trauma. Adaways attorney, B. Keith Jackson, has been unable to obtain the troopers name from the DPS or Texas A&M Police, leading to frustration and accusations of protectionism. The incident has sparked reactions from the sports world, with NBA star LeBron James calling for the officers suspension, while former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel offered a different perspective. The Brazos County first assistant district attorney, Shane Phelps, has stated that the troopers actions could be considered a Class C misdemeanor. Adaways main goals are to learn the troopers name and receive an apology, hoping these steps will help him move forward.
