USC WR Bru McCoy arrested for intimate partner violence with injury
USC WR temporarily suspended from team activities following arrest
Adam Grosbard (OC Register) — USC wide receiver Bru McCoy was arrested on July 24 on suspicion of felony intimate partner violence with injury, a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson confirmed on Monday.
McCoy, 21, was placed on $50,000 bail and released from jail the same night as his arrest. Police responded to the incident around 5:30 p.m. that evening. No charges have been filed against McCoy at this time, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office confirmed.
In a statement when contacted about the arrest, USC athletics said that McCoy has been temporarily suspended from team activities.
“USC does not condone violence of any kind. We are aware of the situation, and USC’s Office for Equity, Equal Opportunity, and Title IX is reviewing it,” the statement from USC read. “Because of federal student privacy laws, we are unable to share additional information at this time.”
McCoy is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 24.
McCoy enrolled at USC in 2019 for the spring semester after graduating early from Mater Dei. Soon after, he transferred to Texas and participated in spring practice with the Longhorns. But he transferred back to USC that summer.
After redshirting in 2019 (mysterious illness), McCoy started in half of USC’s six games in 2020, recording 21 receptions for 236 yards and two touchdowns.
