Southern Miss duo kicked off team

Two players charged for drive-by pellet gun shooting

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) -- Two reserve Southern Miss defensive backs were kicked off the football team Wednesday after being charged with aggravated assault.

Sophomore Cornelius McGee and freshman C.J. Bailey were also dismissed from the university after being charged with the felony. Authorities said the two are accused of shooting a fellow student with an air-powered pellet gun.

University Police Chief Bob Hopkins told the Hattiesburg American that officers took a report Tuesday night from a student who was walking back from a campus cafeteria. The student said a car drove by, an occupant pointed a gun and fired a couple of rounds at him.

One of the pellets struck the student near the left eye, penetrating the skin.

"We were able to get the description from him and a short time later officers located the car," Hopkins said.
Officers found the weapon and ammunition in the car, Hopkins said.

The two were arraigned Wednesday and released on bond -- $51,000 for Bailey and $50,000 for McGee. McGee also was charged with possession of a firearm on state property.

Southern Miss football coach Jeff Bower said he found out Wednesday morning.

"It's behind us, it's over," Bower told the American.

McGee, 19, of Clarksdale, was a backup and played on special teams. Bailey, 19, of Moss Point, was being redshirted this year.

ROUNDUP: MSU back accused of assault

EAST LANSING -- Michigan State junior reserve safety Mike Bell has been charged with assault and battery against a female student.
According to court records, Bell allegedly assaulted Caitlin Mahoney on Sept. 8 following an on-campus party. He was released after posting a $500 bond and completed a pretrial hearing Oct. 4 through the Ingham County Prosecutor's Office.
Bell, who has pleaded not guilty, will face a second pretrial hearing on the charge. A date has not been set.
Bell, from Shaker Heights, Ohio, underwent shoulder surgery in the off-season. He was on the roster at the start of the fall but did not play in any games.
MSU associate athletics director John Lewandowski said Friday that Bell had been "withheld from all football-related activities" for disciplinary reasons for most of the fall season.
As a sophomore in 2005, Bell appeared in eight games, mostly on special teams. He was expected to compete for time as a backup safety upon his return from surgery.
Mahoney, a junior from Lake Mary, Fla., is an All-Big Ten third baseman on the softball team.
Bell is one of five MSU football players who have been removed from the team this fall for disciplinary reasons.
Kellen Davis, Eric Andino, Barre Mackie and Jeremy McGinnis were suspended amid allegations they were involved in an altercation off campus last week. East Lansing police expect to announce the results of their investigation in that case early next week.
