Oregon LB Eddie Heard arrested after allegedly punching woman in the face at a bar

For the first time since the calendar flipped from October to November, it’s time to set the “Days Without An Arrest” ticker back to double zeroes.

The latest to trigger a resetting is Eddie Heard, the Oregon linebacker who The Oregonian reported was arrested Wednesday evening on misdemeanor charges of fourth-degree assault and harassment. The details of what led to the redshirt junior’s arrest are quite disturbing.

From the Eugene Register-Guard:

Heard was at Taylor’s Bar and Grill on East 13th Avenue between 1 and 2 a.m. Sunday morning, when he allegedly began touching a woman repeatedly, despite her “loud vocal protests,” police said.

There was eventually an altercation and Heard allegedly slapped the woman. She pushed him and then left the bar, police said.

But Heard is accused of following her, approaching her outside and punching her in the face. Police said multiple people witnessed the attack.


Heard has since been indefinitely suspended by the football program.

A former junior college transfer, Heard has played in all eight games this season as a backup. Last season, Heard played in 11 games.
