Player pleads not guilty

From Staff Reports

A Purdue football player charged with two felonies pled not guilty Friday in court.

Steve Ennis, a suspended sophomore running back for the Boilers, appeared in Tippecanoe Superior Court Friday to answer to charges of battery resulting in serious bodily injury and criminal recklessness inflicting serious bodily injury.

Ennis, who posted $10,000 bond, is scheduled to return to court this Friday to be issued with a no contact order, which disallows him to harass potential witnesses. After that, his next court appearance will be March 23.

Ennis' charges stem from an incident that took place around 3 a.m. Oct. 22 outside a State Street bar. Ennis, 21, is accused of striking another student, Matt Alexander, during the altercation.

Alexander, a sophomore in the School of Liberal Arts, suffered two fractures to his skull and massive brain trauma in the incident. He said he has lost 40 percent of the hearing in his left ear and 80 percent of his sense of taste.
