Hearings delayed for MSU student from Saline who said hockey players beat him
Brandon Carmack
East Lansing Police Department
Brandon Carmack, 20, of Saline, had been scheduled to appear for a pretrial conference in East Lansing District Court on Tuesday and preliminary examination on Friday. But those proceedings were pushed back to Oct. 23 and Oct. 26, respectively, to allow for more time for the discovery phase of the case, according to the Ingham County Prosecutor's Office.
Carmack is accused of showing up at an East Lansing house the first week of classes looking for his ex-girlfriend, Lansing television station WILX reported. The woman said she was at a gathering there with roommates, friends and members of the MSU swim team. According to a personal protection order, the ex-girlfriend said Carmack was intoxicated, demanded to see her and barged into the house.
The woman said some men stepped in when Carmack grabbed her by the neck and tried choking her, WILX reported.
Carmack was charged with on two counts of assault and battery, domestic assault and battery, filing a false police report of a felony and stalking.
In late August, Carmack alleged he was beaten, stabbed in the head and arm and left with a broken nose and broken ribs and blamed MSU hockey players.
Stuart Dunnings, Ingham County prosecutor, told television station WLNS that Carmack’s story was “ridiculous” and that hockey players are named as victims in the complaint against Carmack.

I knew it. I commented about how this beat down was payback for him doing something inappropriate (to say the least...choking?) to the young lady. My suggestion to this kid is to drop your claim, and beg for forgiveness from the prosecutors and judge. Can you see the writing on the wall yet?

What type of punishment is Carmack received from MSU so far? Suspension maybe? Had the hockey players (or swimmers, or any athlete) instigated the crime they would be suspended from participating in their sport.

All that's missing so far is the introduction of some wry and world-weary private detective and you'd have a Hollywood script here, but my word! You have to wonder what's going on in Greater Saline nowadays.

He was still embarrassed enough about it though to change his tale to being beaten up by hockey players. He didn't go full out lie and change it to anti-semites or ski-masked football players though.

I dunno. I think of the Olympic guys (and even gals) and I think, I would be nice to them or they might break my face. These folks (non-olympians included) are very strong and fit. Just ask Mr. Carnack.

Now, wait a minute. Swimmers are usually really strong.
