An incomplete report has surfaced of an alleged assault at the Aloft Hotel around the time a UNC football player alleges he was assaulted resulting in a concussion, but no new details have emerged.

UNC is currently investigating an incident that was first reported by Yahoo! Sports. That story says walk-on redshirt freshman wide receiver Jackson Boyer said a number of his teammates physically assaulted him at the Aloft hotel when the team was staying there during fall camp. Boyer said the incident resulted in a concussion, according to Yahoo! Sports.

The University says the investigation, led by the office of student affairs, is ongoing.

According to the News and Observer, a report was filed with the UNC Department of Public Safety (UNC Police) alleging aggravated assault, but it doesn’t say who called in the report or who was involved. It also says the report was filed on August 8, four days after the incident UNC is investigating is said to have taken place.

The N&O says UNC Police Chief Jeff McCracken acknowledged that the date and time on the incident report were incorrect, and that a corrected report has been field.

The story also says he spoke with Chapel Hill Police Chief Chris Blue about the report. Since the alleged incident took place off campus, CHPD would be the investigating agency. However, CHPD Public Information Lieutenant Josh Mecimore says no action was taken because of the limited information in the report.

“Without information related to a victim coming forward and asking for a report or something like that—we don’t have any incident report; we don’t have an investigation—so there’s not really anything for us to do,” Lt. Mecimore says.

He says no one has filed a reported pertaining to the alleged incident at the Aloft Hotel.

Four football players were suspended from the Liberty game for violating team rules. Those players were Des Lawrence, M.J. Stewart, Brian Walker, and Donnie Miles. Head coach Larry Fedora said the decision of a one-game suspension was final and he didn’t foresee further suspensions for those players on the field. He said he also didn’t expect any other players to be added to the list.

Coach Fedora wouldn’t say more about what the players did that got them suspended other than violating team policy.
