College basketball player kicked off team, goes on naked rampage, punches police dog

So you’ve been kicked off your college basketball team. I would advise that you not tear up your apartment, strip naked, run down the street, try and steal a police car and fight with the cops. But that’s just me. Fresno Pacific University’s Leonard Tyrell Young, 21, figured that was the way to handle it, however.

On Monday night, about an hour after Young was kicked off the team for “a violation of team standards,” he proved that was probably a wise decision. According to police, he tore up his apartment, and then ran naked through the streets, eventually winding up at a convenience store, where he pounded on the windows. He then assaulted two women in the parking lot, knocking one of them to the ground.

When police arrived, things got even weirder.

Officers tried to pull Young from the car. Officer Zack Chastain shot his Taser at Young, but it had no effect. He tried twice more, but he could not slow Young.

Young kept a strong grip on the steering wheel as Sturgeon and officer Theran Higginbotham tried to pull him from the car. Finally, a blow to Young’s wrist with a flashlight loosened his grip on the steering wheel, and he was pulled out of the car and handcuffed.

Also, while Young was struggling with the cop inside the car, a police dog bit Young in the thigh, and he punched the dog (the dog was unharmed).

And Daniel Powter sings: So you’ve had a bad day …
