" PITTSBORO, N.C. -- A former N.C. State basketball player is scheduled to be in court Monday. Marcus Melvin, 24, is accused of choking his girlfriend, Shaunesi DeBerry, on August 1st after he got upset about a phone bill. Investigators also said Melvin threatened to kill her. This is not the first time Melvin has been charged with assaulting DeBerry. Melvin averaged nearly 11 points and six rebounds with the Wolfpack from 2000 to 2004. He was a second-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection in his senior year. "

"PITTSBORO - A Chatham district court judge has issued an order for the arrest of former N.C. State basketball player Marcus Melvin after he failed to appear in court Tuesday on charges that he tried to strangle his then-girlfriend. Melvin, 24, of Raleigh, was charged with felonious assault by strangulation and communicating threats after the Aug. 1 altercation. According to court documents, District Court Judge Patricia DeVine ordered that upon his arrest, Melvin's $12,500 bond be doubled to $25,000 and that he surrender his passport as a condition of release. Melvin averaged nearly 11 points and six rebounds as a forward at N.C. State from 2000-04. He was a second-team All-ACC selection in his senior year. Since leaving NCSU, Melvin has played overseas, including the Italian League."

Kind of hard to be there when you're out of the country. Probably forgot he had a court date.

I resent that.

And I wish Marcus the best of luck.

That bitch should have invested in a phone card like Marcus recommended.

11/21/2006 4:15:24 PM

i love their logic:
the real way to get him to court is to make sure that if he does come he can't go back to work outside of the country. HE'S BOUND TO COME NOW.

11/21/2006 4:15:28 PM

^^^^should keep up with a court date. kind of a big deal. now when he's arrested he can't go back to Italy.

11/21/2006 4:17:21 PM

If I was him i just wouldnt come back to the US for a few years as long as i was playing.

in the meantime just save up some money and get a lawyer before you surrender yourself.


FTA's arent really a big deal my roomate had 3 outstanding ones at once a few years ago. Course his bail was even higher than Melvin's when those all added up.. like 35 G's.

Its a little tougher to get a bondsman when you've got FTA's too and sometimes you have to put up more than 15%. Pretty dumb, Marcus.

um, FTA = failure to appear. it has nothing to do with strangling.
