Battery

Indiana senior tight end Blake Powers was arrested after he threw a water balloon from one car into another, hitting an off-duty police officer, authorities said.

Powers, 22, was released from the Monroe County Jail after he was booked Monday night on a preliminary misdemeanor charge of battery.

According to a police report, Powers tossed a water balloon through the open window of another car, striking Paul Wampler in the head.

Wampler followed the other vehicle, which had four occupants, to a residence where Powers admitted throwing the water balloon, the report said. All four car occupants tested negative for alcohol use, said IU police Capt. Jerry Minger.

What an idiot.
