Canadian Football League player in court

A woman has testified that her former fiance, B.C. Lions linebacker Chris Hoople, knocked her off a chair, dragged her across a room until her head hit a wall and threw her against a door.
Hoople is charged with common assault in an alleged incident on November 22, a day after the Lions returned from the Grey Cup game in Ottawa.
The woman, whose name is the subject of a publication ban, told the court the assault was sparked by a conversation about money. (The Province)
