There's video out there of him throwing it and now sounds like Covington is going to press charges. Kind of a ***** move since it sounds like he was instigating the whole thing.

"According to police records Covington, 22, was involved in a fight near campus in the wee hours of Sunday morning, May 23, and was cited for fourth-degree assault.
The police report says Waleanalu Arquette, 23, of Corvallis was walking with a friend on Northwest 14th Street when “some men in front of them’’ began calling them names.
Arquette said he responded, and one of the men punched him twice in the face.
Arquette’s friend, 21-year-old Kenn Asato of Corvallis, was punched in the eye.
Police later interviewed Covington and determined that he threw the punches that hit Arquette. Covington has a June 24 court date set at the Benton County Courthouse.
Covington – a former junior college national champion at 165 pounds - wrestled at national powerhouse Iowa for one year as a redshirt sop****re before coming to OSU to be closer to his Springfield home (he prepped at Thurston High).
It was a situation where he was also getting a clean start of sorts because he had an unseemly incident at Iowa in August, 2008, where he was arrested for DUI and eluding police trying to race back to his apartment in his car.
Covington’s blood-alcohol level was 0.255, more than three times the legal limit of 0.08.
After the DUI arrest, Covington was suspended from the Iowa program. He redshirted his sop****re year, then saw limited action in 2008-09, going 9-2 at 165 pounds."
