Suspect in UCLA player attack surrenders

DALLAS — An 18-year-old man accused in an attack that left a 20-year-old UCLA tennis player in a coma has surrendered to authorities in Dallas.

Chancellor Jay Hutcheson of Plano posted bond and was released from the Dallas County Jail on Monday. He is charged with aggravated assault, a second-degree felony.

Jeffrey “Jake” Fleming of Newport Beach, Calif., was attending a Rascal Flatts concert in Dallas on June 13. Police said Fleming and his friends may have argued with another group during the concert and that Hutcheson hit him.

Fleming’s family said he was sucker-punched as he was about to catch a taxi after the concert. The blow knocked Fleming to the ground, where his head hit the concrete.
