Even if you are a out of control dumb jock Mr. Nick Johnson I would like to thank you. The cop probably deserved it. Original Article Former ASU player jailed in assault on cop By Mike Branom, Tribune November 18, 2005 Nick Johnson A former Arizona State University football player was jailed early Friday on suspicion of punching a Tempe police sergeant in the face during a bar fight. Nick Johnson, a defensive end during the 2002 and 2003 seasons, also hit a bouncer at ACME Roadhouse Bar before being subdued with a stun gun, police said. Arrested shortly after 2 a.m., he was booked on two counts of aggravated assault on a police officer and a count of misdemeanor assault. Sgt. James Click suffered a broken nose and a fractured cheekbone, as well as being knocked unconscious. He is expected to undergo reconstructive surgery this weekend. Johnson, 21, had a short stay with the Sun Devils due to discipline problems. The Chandler High School product brawled with a teammate in July 2003 and left the team after being suspended five games into his sophomore season. In 19 games, Johnson recorded 24 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and six sacks. Contact Mike Branom by email, or phone (480) 898-6536
