UVA Lacrosse Player Had History of Violence, According to Police

The UVA lacrosse player accused of murdering a member of the women's team once threatened to kill a female police officer when he was taken into custody, Foxnews.com is reporting. According to the story, an intoxicated George Huguely was arrested in 2008 after a physical altercation with a Lexington, Va., female police officer. Police Chief A.S. Thomas told FoxNews.com that the 22-year-old shouted "obsecenities" at the woman and became "combative." Even scarier, WTVR said that Huguely had to be tasered after he threatened to kill Officer R.L. Moss.

The violent incident came about after a 911 call was placed on Nov. 14th of 2008, and officers responded to a house near the campus of Washington & Lee University. Lexington Police told Fox News that George Huguely was visibly intoxicated when officers arrived and was "stumbling on to oncoming traffic in the street."

For his behavior Huguely pleaded guilty to two charges and was placed on six months probation.

Virginia Lacrosse Player Accused of Killing Female Athlete He Once Dated

A University of Virginia men's lacrosse player has been charged in the murder of a women's lacrosse player at the same school, law enforcement officials confirmed to FoxNews.com. George Huguely, 22, of Chevy Chase, Md., was charged in the death of Yeardley Love, 22, of Cockeysville, Md., Charlottesville police said Monday. Various sources are reporting that the victim and the suspect had once dated, but that is the only connection that's been established at this time. According to the Fox News report, Lt. Gary Pleasants of the Charlottesville police said Love's roommate called police around 2:15 a.m. to report that the young woman may have had an alcohol overdose. However, upon arriving, the officers observed that Love had already passed away, with "visible injuries to her body."

Police confirmed that Huguely was arrested in his apartment today, although they would not say what led them there.

So tragic... a beautiful young woman with a promising future, gone for what?
