Witnesses told the station that Watson grabbed 19-year-old New Mexico State student Miguel Rascon by the throat, threw him to the ground and repeatedly stomped on his head. According to Local 4 News, Watson thought Rascon was flirting with a girl who was accompanying the NMSU senior.
Although Watson has yet to be charged with a crime, this isn't the first time this month that New Mexico State player has been in hot water. On Jan. 16, Aggies redshirt freshman Emery Coleman was arrested on a vehicular manslaughter charge. Coleman was also suspended indefinitely by the team.
Watson averaged 10.8 points and 5.0 rebounds in 21 games for the Aggies this season.
