A member of the national championship University of Wisconsin cross country team faces a felony battery charge after allegedly smashing a wine glass on his girlfriend’s nose.
Robert “Bobby” L. Lockhart, 22, also faces a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge in the Nov. 23 incident, which happened during a party shortly after 1:30 a.m. at a downtown apartment.
Lockhart, who has been suspended from the cross country and track teams for violating the university’s student-athlete discipline policy, was released Monday on a signature bond during a short initial court appearance.
