Iowa State University Sports Information Director Tom Kroeschell confirmed that wrestler Trent Weatherman has been suspended indefinitely from the Cyclones team after violating team rules. Weatherman was arrested for the second time in three months early Saturday morning.
According to the online arrest report for the City of Ames Police Department, Weatherman, 21, from Huxley, was arrested for simple assault at 2 a.m. July 2. The arrest is his second since being arrested in April for public intoxication with a 0.23 blood-alcohol level.
Kroeschell told SourceMedia Group News that Cyclones Coach Kevin Jackson was out of town and unavailable for comment.
Mark Palmer of College Wrestling Examiner reported the suspension earlier Wednesday, citing other media sources.
Weatherman went 15-15 at 157 pounds as a red-shirt freshman for the Cyclones last season. He placed fourth at the Big 12 Conference tournament. Weatherman was a four-time state finalist for Ballard High School, winning the Class 2A 152-pound title as a junior and senior in 2008 and 2009. He compiled a 180-8 record as a prep, earning high school All-America honors from Amateur Wrestling News.
