SIDNEY, N.Y. — A former Binghamton University wrestler awaiting sentencing for assaulting a Korean American student last year is accused of punching another man in the face in an unrelated incident.
Sidney Village Justice Dennis Martin on Jan. 17 refused to dismiss third-degree assault charges against Chad W. Scott, 19, of Walton. The misdemeanor charge carries a penalty of up to one year in jail.
Scott is scheduled to be sentenced next week in Vestal Town Court for a campus assault last February that left a Korean American student with a fractured skull.
Two other students also pleaded guilty to charges in connection with the assault, which authorities said was racially motivated.
