PORTLAND, Ore. -- A former Nebraska running back was being held on assault and burglary charges after breaking into the home of an Oregon State cornerback early Tuesday.
Thunder Collins, 23, of Lincoln, Neb., has been charged with first-degree burglary and second-degree assault. Police said Collins is in the Benton County Jail on $75,000 bail.
Police responded after midnight Tuesday to reports of a disturbance at the Corvallis apartment of Oregon State sophomore Jamaal Jackson, said Lt. Ron Noble, a spokesman for the Corvallis Police Department.
Jackson, a 20-year-old business major, shares the apartment with his girlfriend, Shannon Howell, a sociology major. Howell is a former girlfriend of Collins.
According to police, Collins entered the dwelling while the two were sleeping and attacked Jackson. The couple fled, as did Collins. Collins was later found nearby, trying to find a taxi, Noble said.
