Overview
- Hutchins, who was arraigned Wednesday in Newton District Court, pleaded not guilty and was released on personal recognizance.
- Police reports say the alleged altercation unfolded Tuesday in Boston College’s Voute Hall, where a resident assistant reported seeing Hutchins push a woman and grip her neck, described as a firm grab rather than strangulation.
- The woman told officers she was okay, declined photographs of her neck, and did not seek a restraining order, according to the campus police report.
- The Patriots said they are aware of the situation, take it seriously, and are gathering information with no further comment during the ongoing legal process.
- Court records set a June 29 pretrial hearing; Hutchins, selected 247th overall and signed last week, could also face league review that may influence his roster prospects.
