University of Wisconsin football player Marcus Randle El was charged Tuesday with two misdemeanors stemming from a fight over gambling money during which he allegedly punched an acquaintance in the face.
Randle El, a 19-year-old sophomore wide receiver, faces charges of battery and bail jumping in the Dec. 16 incident. His attorney, Charles Giesen, appeared on his behalf during an initial appearance on the charges. Randle El, who is free on a signature bond, is with the Badgers in Orlando, Fla., where they will play Auburn in the Capital One Bowl on Monday.
