One University of Colorado football player is facing drug charges and another was cited for assault after police say the two got into a fight outside a bar in downtown Boulder just hours after the Buffs defeated Utah at Folsom Field.

Abdul Jaleel Awini, 23, was arrested on suspicion of drug possession around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, while Christopher Hill, 21, was cited with third-degree assault, according to court records.

According to a police, Hill punched Awini after an argument, and officers who responded found a substance that appeared to be cocaine in Awini’s wallet.

Awini, a senior who has played multiple positions at CU, has been suspended from all team activities, including Friday’s Pac-12 championship game, by Coach Mike MacIntyre. MacIntyre also said that Hill, a tight end, will not play Friday.

According to a police report, Awini and Hill were both drinking early Sunday morning at the Walrus Saloon, 1911 11th St. Bouncers kicked Awini out for being drunk, according to police, and while outside, he reportedly blamed Hill for getting him ejected from the bar.

Police said the two began to argue, and Hill punched Awini in the jaw, knocking him unconscious. Hill ran, but was chased down by bar staff.

He later told police he punched Awini because he was afraid Awini would punch him first. Hill was cited with third-degree assault, a misdemeanor.

As Awini was being treated, a police officer found packets of what he believed to be cocaine inside Awini’s wallet. While hooked up to a heart monitor at Boulder Community Health’s Foothills Hospital, officers noted Awini’s heart rate spiked when they told him they had found the wallet, before mentioning the cocaine.

Awini asked the cops what charges he was looking at because, “you know I got some (expletive) in my wallet,” according to the report.

Awini was released from the hopsital and booked into the Boulder County Jail on suspicion of drug possession. He also had a failure to appear warrant on an Erie municipal ticket for urinating in public.

It is not Awini’s first run-in with the law since he transferred to CU from Air Force in 2014.

He currently has an open DUI case in Boulder County after he was pulled over speeding on U.S 36 on Aug. 28, according to a police report. The report indicates Awini’s blood alcohol level was .128 at the time he was pulled over.

Awini also was cited in a reported brawl on University Hill in 2015, though that case was dropped.

Awini saw special teams action this year after missing time with an injury. Hill — who has two years of eligibility left but is playing as a senior — has seen action at tight end and caught his first career touchdown earlier this year against Idaho State.

Both Awini and Hill played in Saturday night’s Pac-12 South-clinching 27-22 win over Utah.
