The 24-year-old Askew struggled with officers trying to handcuff him Saturday
evening and broke away before he was shocked, police spokesman Lt. Tom Lanter
said. Askew ignored an officer's warning to move his illegally parked car and
then refused to give his identification, Lanter said.
Last month, second-year receiver Chris Henry pleaded not guilty in Covington,
Ky., to charges that he provided alcohol to three underage females. He also
faces a drunken driving charge in suburban
Cincinnati ,
and is scheduled for trial Aug. 21 in Florida on a charge of carrying a
concealed weapon.
A.J. Nicholson, a fifth-round pick in April, was charged last month with
burglarizing the apartment of a former Florida State teammate. He also faces
grand theft and vandalism charges in Florida.
Also last month, defensive end Frostee Rucker was charged with two counts of
spousal battery and vandalism in Los Angeles. The third-round pick has denied
the allegations.
