UNC wrestler charged with assault

CHAPEL HILL - Police arrested a member of the UNC-Chapel Hill wrestling team on an assault charge early Saturday morning, according to police reports.

Vincent Toribio Ramirez, 21, also was charged with being drunk and disruptive. He was released on the misdemeanor charges after making a written promise to appear.

Police reports say that officers saw him punch someone in the incident, which happened in the 100 block of West Rosemary Street.

The wrestling team roster lists Ramirez as a redshirt junior from Durham and says he went to Riverside High School. When contacted Sunday, UNC wrestling coach C.D. Mock said he could not comment on the charges.
