According to an April 13 article in The Emporia Gazette, Fessler is currently in the Kansas Rehabilitation Hospital in Topeka because of injuries he suffered during the altercation outside of a local bar. Emporia Police Detective Lt. One of the people involved was McIntyre. An investigation by the Emporia Police Department is underway to determine the events that happened that night. McIntyre was indefinitely suspended for the remainder of the season for disciplinary reasons, according to head coach Brian Embery in a Sports Information press release issued April 10.
Disciplinary measures are unfortunate, yet sometimes necessary.
Mason Logan, sports information director, agreed with Embery. Heffron said a press release will be issued upon completion of the investigation.
