The Mississippi State University Police Department this week released photos of a suspect wanted for assaulting another man with a cowbell at the Egg Bowl in late November.
The images, taken inside Davis Wade Stadium, show a college-aged male, about 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing between 150 and 160 pounds, with dark hair. He was wearing blue jeans and a gray MSU hooded sweatshirt and had a blond female in a white jacket by his side.
After the Mississippi State football team defeated the University of Mississippi 41-27 in the Egg Bowl, some verbal sparring between the suspect and the unidentified 21-year-old victim took place in the student section bleachers near the north end zone. The victim was an MSU student but was in the stands with some friends from Ole Miss, MSU PD Chief Georgia Lindley said at the time.
“It started as a verbal argument and it ended with a gentleman getting struck in the head with a cowbell,” MSU Police Department Detective Brad Massey said Tuesday.
The victim was taken to Oktibbeha County Hospital, where he was treated for a mild concussion and received several staples in his head. The suspect could face an aggravated assault charge, which carries a sentence of one to 20 years.
