An Ave Maria University football player is accused of holding a gun to a teammate’s head at a Halloween party.

Cory del Prado, 18, was expelled after he was arrested Monday by Collier County deputies on a felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill. Del Prado was taken to the Immokalee Jail Center, where his bail was set at $10,000. He posted bond and was released Tuesday. He is set to be arraigned Dec. 3

Del Prado's arrest stems from his arrival at an off-campus apartment complex in Ave Maria for a Halloween party Saturday, Nov. 3, according to an arrest report from the Collier Sheriff’s Office.

Kurt Tibbets, a freshman offensive lineman for Ave Maria, and Daniel Hoffman, a freshman tight end, were asked by the host of the party to “work the door” and not allow anyone else in because the party was overcrowded, according to the report.

Del Prado, who was Ave Maria's freshman quarterback at the time of the incident, attempted to enter the Halloween party with Noah Rice-Kerr, a freshman linebacker.

Tibbets denied them access and told them the party was full, according to the report.

Del Prado became upset and began pushing Tibbets and pulled a black, semi-automatic firearm from his waistband and held it to the right side of Tibbets’ head, according to the report. The report does not say whether the gun was loaded.

The barrel of the firearm was touching Tibbets’ temple area, and del Prado said, “I will ruin your life,” according to the report.

Several people in the party pulled Tibbets inside the apartment where the party was taking place, and del Prado and Rice-Kerr left, according to the report.

Two days later, Del Prado threatened Hoffman in a weight room at Ave Maria University, according to the report. Hoffman said he was afraid he and Tibbets were going to be shot by del Prado.

Tibbets told deputies that he didn’t actually see the gun during the incident but pushed what felt like a firearm away from his head, according to the report. He also told investigators he was afraid of being shot by del Prado.

Sheriff’s Office investigators found a black .177-caliber Powerline pellet gun in the trunk of del Prado’s vehicle, according to the report. On the side of the pellet gun was a warning that stated, “Not a toy. Misuse or careless use may cause serious injury or death.”

Rice-Kerr told an investigator that the pellet gun found in del Prado’s vehicle was the same gun del Prado pulled out of his waistband at the Halloween party, according to the report.

Del Prado told an investigator he was dressed as a gangster for the Halloween party and was holding a “black BB gun” in his hand as part of the costume, according to the report.

Del Prado told the investigator he was pushed in the throat area by Tibbets and his arm holding the gun went into the air during the incident, according to the report.

He denied placing the barrel of the gun on Tibbets' head and said he was “intoxicated” and doesn’t remember everything he did, according to the report. Ave Maria University marketing and communications director Mark McCormick confirmed del Prado was expelled and said it is not unusual for Ave Maria to remove a student quickly after an incident.

“There is a student code of conduct that all students sign to be part of the university,” McCormick said. “It regulates behavior and activities, and he (del Prado) violated expected student behavior."

McCormick confirmed del Prado was on the university football team but wasn’t sure whether he was in “good standing” with the team at the time of the incident. McCormick said he was unsure whether del Prado had an athletic scholarship at the university.

Student-athletes may get financial assistance but are not generally awarded full scholarships at Ave Maria, McCormick said.

The university’s on-campus security team is investigating whether any other students violated the code of conduct during the incident, McCormick said.

“We hold our students, faculty and staff to a pretty high standard,” McCormick said. “All of us sign a code-of-expected-behavior document when we come on board. We are making sure safety and security of our students is our No. 1 priority."
