IU defensive lineman sentenced to community service, probation

IU junior defensive lineman Ralph Green was sentenced to community service and a year of probation as a result of his arrest in April, according to online court records.

On April 19, Green was arrested after reportedly slapping a girl across the cheek at a party because she would not dance with him. When the police arrived, he was reportedly yelling belligerently while attempting to enter a vehicle. He began honking the horn once he entered the vehicle.

When Bloomington Police Department officers asked Green to step out of the vehicle, they noticed signs of intoxication and handcuffed him before giving him an unofficial breathalyzer test, which showed a blood alcohol content of .201.

IU quickly announced Green was suspended from team ?activities.

There has been no further word about the length of Green’s punishment or if he will be reinstated by the start of the season.

Court records also stated Green will have to pay up to $500 — $183 for court costs and $300 for an alcohol- and drug-related class.

Green earned freshman All-Big Ten and All-America honors in 2013.

As a sophomore in 2014, Green appeared in 11 of 12 games, posting 19 tackles, 4.5 of which were tackles for a loss.
