Penn State sophomore wide receiver Maurice Humphrey was released from Centre County Prison yesterday after bail was reduced from $50,000 to $5,000. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 3 at Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte.

"The bail was not unusual given the felony, but in this case it was not warranted and that's why it was reduced," Humphrey's attorney Tony DeBoef said. Friends and family members posted bail yesterday afternoon.

Humphrey spent more than a day in prison because bail reduction proceedings do not occur on Sundays, DeBoef said.

Humphrey is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, harassment and criminal mischief stemming from an incident early Sunday morning, Penn State University Police said. Humphrey allegedly assaulted Penn State students Christopher Lolange and Jennifer Maline. Both are members of the Penn State track and field team.

According to a family member, Lolange remains in the intensive care unit at Mount Nittany Medical Center.

DeBoef said that Humphrey had been removed from his on-campus residence at Nittany Apartments Sunday.

All the following occurred on the morning of Nov. 23 according to court documents.

Lolange said that while he was inside Nittany Apartment Building 45, Humphrey entered the room where Lolange and Maline were at the time.

Humphrey hit the resident using a closed fist and grabbed Lolange by the shirt, dragging him to the living area.

Humphrey then punched Lolange in the face and pushed him towards the exterior door of the apartment. Lolange fell to the ground outside the door. While Lolange was on the ground Humphrey kicked him in the head.

Lolange was able to get up from the ground and run to Pollock Commons, where he called university police.

Humphrey then hit Maline in the face again and threw her cell phone at the wall, creating a hole and causing the cell phone to break apart before he exited the apartment.

A Penn State police officer found Humphrey outside of the Greenburg Sports Complex, where he was taken into custody and transported to the university police station in Eisenhower Parking Deck.

Humphrey's foster father, John Capodice, had no comment on the incident. Sports Information Director Jeff Nelson also said that the football team had no comment.
