KAMAL JOHNSON, the Temple University defensive tackle charged with assaulting his girlfriend in September, will have to go on trial, a Philadelphia judge ruled Tuesday.
Johnson, 20, is charged with unlawful restraint, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person. A kidnapping charge was dropped following a preliminary hearing.
Johnson's girlfriend, a 21-year-old Temple student, told police that Johnson came to her apartment, on 15th Street near Oxford, shortly before midnight Sept. 27, after they had argued on the phone.
