(West Virginia) - Marshall University football coach Doc Holliday announced Monday that safety Donald Brown was dismissed from the team for a violation of team rules. Brown was arrested Monday on a domestic battery charge over an incident Sunday involving his wife and 11-month-old daughter. An official with the Cabell County Magistrate Clerk's office says that Huntington police allege Brown repeatedly struck his wife during an altercation while she was holding the baby, and the baby was inadvertently struck.
