OSU player charged with assault

? Oklahoma State junior defensive end Jamie Blatnick was charged Monday with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon after a fight with a former OSU offensive lineman at a Stillwater bar.

Police say witnesses told them Blatnick started the fight early Saturday by hitting Stephen Denning in the face with a beer bottle. Police say Denning was treated at a local hospital for a fractured orbital socket.

According to online court records, the Payne County District Attorney’s office filed the felony charge on Monday against Blatnick while Denning was charged with a misdemeanor count of obstructing an officer. Both men appeared in court Monday and entered pleas of innocent.
