TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- David Moss, Indiana State's leading scorer, faces a domestic battery charge for allegedly attacking a woman following an argument.
Moss, 20, was arrested early Saturday after police responded to a 19-year-old student's report that she was being battered at a campus residential hall, according to an e-mail from university spokeswoman Teresa Exline.
The woman, who refused medical treatment, reported that she had been in an argument with Moss and that he had choked her, leaving abrasions on her neck.
Moss, a sophomore from South Holland, Ill., was being held without bond Sunday at the Vigo County Jail pending a Monday morning hearing on the misdemeanor charge.
Indiana State Athletic Director Andi Myers said the school's Student Judicial Office will look into the matter. ''We're going to have to see how this materializes,'' she said.
Indiana State played a men's basketball game without Moss on Saturday afternoon, losing to Southwest Missouri State 52-39.
Last season, the 6-foot-5 guard averaged a team-high 13.2 points as well as 4.4 rebounds per contest in 31 games, 26 as a starter. His athleticism and shooting skills helped earn him the Missouri Valley Conference's Freshman of the Year award.
