DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Barnstormers general manger John Petit says that former Iowa State star Jason Berryman has been suspended indefinitely.
Head coach John Gregory says the suspension, which is for an undisclosed team violation, is in the current and future best interests of the organization. Gregory says the Barnstormers gave Berryman every opportunity to get his career on track.
Berryman was booted from the Cyclones in January 2006 after he was cited by police for being at a bar while he was underage. He was on probation at the time for a 2004 assault on an Iowa State student.
He was arrested for punching the student and stealing $4 and a cell phone. He spent 258 days in jail and was placed on probation for two years.
