Man Held for Interfering After UConn Stabbing
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Hartford man is being held on a $100,000 bond on charges stemming from a fight outside a dance at the University of Connecticut where a football player was fatally stabbed.
Twenty-one-year old Johnny Hood was charged with interfering with an officer and breach of peace. He was arraigned Monday morning in Rockville Superior Court.
He has not been charged with the stabbing death of 20-year-old Jasper Howard of Miami. Hartford police Major Ronald Blicher says authorities are not anticipating any "significant changes in the investigation" Monday.
