Update
Lewis submits report to UCPD
UCLA sophomore tailback Jermaine Lewis has filed a police report
regarding his involvement in an altercation on Saturday night.
Lewis filed the report with the UCPD Tuesday at 4:01 p.m. The
report was made in response to a complaint filed the previous day
in which Lewis was accused of battery.
Lewis described the suspect as a 5-foot-10, 182-pound male. The
suspect has been identified as Elonza Malone III of Victorville,
Calif. Malone, not a UCLA student, was visiting friends the night
the altercation occurred. Lewis stated in his report that Malone
struck him at 1 a.m. at 529 Landfair Ave.
Malone said in his report that Lewis struck him multiple times.
An investigation into the incident has begun.
Lewis, who claimed he was acting in self-defense, was suspended
indefinitely by coach Bob Toledo.
Lewis will miss Saturday’s game at the University of Arizona,
and his future status is pending.
