The trial for former Colorado Mesa University football player William Milo was moved to Thursday, March 2 with Judge Lance Timbreza. Milo, 22, who is facing second-degree assault and tampering with a witness or victim charges, was initially scheduled in court on Thursday, Feb. 2, but the prosecution asked the court for more time.
In Milo’s arrest warrant, Grand Junction police contended there is probable cause to believe that on Oct. 29, Milo assaulted and broke the jaw of a 20-year-old male after a night of drinking.
Milo, a former defensive nose tackle for CMU, was voted preseason defensive player of the year by the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference before the 2016 season. He was later ruled ineligible to play on the CMU football team for the 2016 season due to academic reasons.
