From Florio's article:

Louis has been charged with misdemeanor assault for allegedly beating up teammate Nick Sandford, who still plays for the Aztecs.

Sandford suffered a concussion, broken eardrum, and fractured cheekbone as a result of the incident.

Louis is due to be arraigned on October 23. He faces up to a year in jail and a $10,000 fine.
