Over a year after the incident, a trial date has still yet to be set in the case of a former Iowa State University football player accused of assaulting University of Iowa basketball player Jordan Bohannon.
30-year-old Nicholas Kron, currently of Nashville Tennessee, played defensive end for the Cyclones in 2012 and 2013.
On May 23rd of last year, Kron and Bohannon were reportedly arguing outside of DC’s on South Dubuque Street after it had closed for the night. According to police, Kron allegedly sucker-punched Bohannon three times in the back of the head, knocking him down and causing a cut.
Bohannon was removed from the scene by three friends and taken to a local hospital for treatment. University of Iowa officials would later say Bohannon suffered a “serious head injury”.
Video of the incident shows Bohannon was turned away from Kron at the time the punches were thrown.
Kron is charged with Assault Causing Bodily Injury, a Serious Misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of one year in jail.
Ahead of his arraignment, Kron filed a written plea of not guilty last October 7th. A Case Management Conference was originally scheduled for December 6th and has been since continued to January 3rd, January 31st, March 14th, May 9th, July 7th, August 15th, and now October 10th.
A previous civil suit brought by Bohannon against Kron was dismissed without prejudice January 20th.
