| April
3rd 2009: A woman was walking to her car while leaving a party at a Miami
apartment complex. As she got there, a man rode up to her on a bicycle,
and tried to force down her pants. During the ensuing struggle, the assailant
broke her cheekbone and ruptured her sinuses before fleeing the scene. The
woman later picked Mbakwe out of a lineup, and he was arrested on April
28th, charged with felonious assault. The case against him dragged on for
over a year due to multiple delays; eventually, Mbakwe entered a pre-trial
program for first time offenders, upon the completion of which his record
will be expunged. The program includes 100 hours of community service, a
$100 donation to a Florida facility for abuse victims, and a restraining
order against the accused. The agreement does not represent an admission
of guilt, and Mbakwe always claimed a case of mistaken identity. |

January 2011: Arrested for violating the restraining order. Mbakwe sent
her a Facebook message, which, despite its content (that was intended to
be nice and a final goodbye), was nonetheless a violation of the no-contact
order. Spent a night in jail, but not suspended by Minnesota. |
