Jayvaughn Pinkston, a former Brooklyn High School basketball standout is charged with two counts of simple assault and harassment after allegedly getting in a fight outside a fraternity house at Villanova University, New York Post reports. Pinkston became angered when he was locked inside a laundry room while having a romantic encounter with a girl, eyewitnesses say. Allegedly a fraternity brother propped a chair against the laundry-room door. “He [Pinkston] was [mad], but nothing became of it at the time. He was just yelling,” an eyewitness said. Pinkston waited outside for a ride and two fraternity brothers came out to taunt him, witnesses say. Pinkston allegedly turned and punched the first fraternity brother. Someone else presumably punched the second fraternity brother. Pinkston is a 6-foot-7 forward for Villanova University and was a McDonald’s All-American at Bishop Loughlin. The team opens its season tonight and will be without Pinkston.
