Yesterday police arrested Johnny Hood for interfering with police officers. Hood reportedly gave the wrong name to police officers when they tried to question him. However, he has not been charged in the death of Jasper Howard. Hood's attorney said that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and was not aware of the stabbing.
A lawyer for a Bloomfield man he said that police have notified him that they will have a warrant for his clients arrest. Deron Freeman, the Lawyer, declined to name his client but said that he was at the scene of the stabbing but did not actually stab Howard.
It has also been released that Brian Parker, a reserve wide receiver who is academically ineligible this season, was the other victim in the stabbing but only sustained minor injuries. Coach Randy Edsall has said that two other players were present, and one applies pressure to Howard's wounds in an attempt to save his life. Edsall said he will leave it up to those players as to whether they play in this weekend's game or not.
The team will wear a JH helmet sticker for the rest of the season in memory of Howard. They will also bring either his jersey or helmet to all of their remaining games. Edsall said that the team will be putting together a package of memorabilia for his unborn child. The package will include a game ball from Saturday's game against Louisville.
West Virginia Will wear a number 6 helmet sticker Saturday and both teams will participate in a pregame moment of silence and handshake. Clemson cornerback Chris Chancellor, a high school teammate of Howard will switch his jersey number to number 6.
