12/99
A Marshall football player has been charged in a racially motivated attack on a city police detective's son, police said today. Carlos Smith, 22, a senior defensive end, was charged Tuesday with unlawful wounding, a felony. Five other players also taunted the boy but have not been charged in the Dec. 19 attack, police said. Police said Brandon Maynard, 22, was walking to his car about 1:30 a.m. when six men accosted him. The men made several comments, then Smith punched him in the face and knocked him down, police said. ``The kid is 5-foot-10 and weighs 140 soaking wet. The guy that hit him is 6-5 and weighs 260,'' Detective Chris Sperry of the Huntington Police Department said. ``He didn't know any of the players. He just happened to be walking to his car and run across the fellows -- wrong place at the wrong time.'' The players left Maynard lying on the street. A man came out of a nightclub and took him to Cabell Huntington Hospital, where he received more than 40 stitches to his face, Sperry said. Maynard's father, Detective Don Maynard, said, ``We had to call a plastic surgeon because his mouth was completely ripped open. I don't want to see anybody get in trouble, but he had never met these guys before in his life.'' Smith was released on $10,000 bond. Police said his preliminary hearing will be within the next 10 days. Smith, who is black, made racial comments to Maynard, who is white, Captain Steve Hall said.
