Doesn’t sound good. Unlike many of us (including me), Devon’s screw-up has a huge audience and potentially life disrupting consequences. I wish him the best and hope that, whatever actually happened, he owns up to it and learns from it. It would be terrible for someone with so much promise to get untracked.
Something similar happened in about 1980. One of the stars on one of the major sports teams pushed or hit one of the campus policeman in a kind of a melee at a party, and he was suspended for a year.
His life wasn't ruined. He came back, graduated and has done fine post-graduation, and works in a position that requires a professional license.
Regardless of the short-term results of this, it's unlikely that Cannady's life will be ruined by this incident.
Good luck to him.
