STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) - Oklahoma State junior defensive end Jamie Blatnick has been charged with felony assault and battery with a dangerous weapon after a fight with a former OSU offensive lineman at a Stillwater bar.
Police say witnesses told them Blatnick started the fight early Saturday by hitting Stephen Denning in the face with a beer bottle. Police say Denning was treated at a local hospital for a fractured orbital socket.
According to online court records, the Payne County District Attorney's office filed the felony charge on Monday against Blatnick while Denning was charged with a misdemeanor count of obstructing an officer. Court records did not indicate if either man had an attorney.
Gundy's statement comes one week after news that safety Victor Johnson will face charges of possession of a controlled substance and obstructing a police officer. Read the full story here.
Head coach Mike Gundy says both Johnson and Blatnick will face repercussions, but that he is still gathering information before deciding punishments and that it may be several more days before he announces what action he's taking.
Gundy says that Blatnick's "situation is much more severe because right now he's been charged with a felony."
OSU will hold its annual fan appreciation day Sunday August 8th.
