CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Oregon State University football player Castro Masaniai was released from jail Monday in Corvallis after appearing in Benton County Circuit Court.

The 21-year-old is accused of dragging his girlfriend through a restaurant Saturday and faces charges that include coercion and harassment.

OSU has suspended the defensive tackle indefinitely.

Police says Masaniai argued with his 23-year-old girlfriend while they were traveling from Albany to Corvallis with their 2-year-old son and stopped at a restaurant.

The Gazette-Times reports Masaniai is due in court again May 26 for a status hearing on the case.
