(South Bend) — The St. Joseph County prosecutor’s office has issued misdemeanor charges of battery and battery resulting in bodily injury against former Marian and Notre Dame basketball star Demetrius Jackson.

The charges stem from an incident that occurred at Marian’s March 10th boys basketball practice, involving Jackson, Knights guard Brandon Foster and Foster’s father, Marian assistant coach Brian Foster.

Mishawaka police detectives obtained video from the practice. According to court documents, “On the video, the detective saw Mr. Jackson and Brandon Foster playing. During the game, he saw Mr. Jackson headbutt the younger Mr. Foster and then shove him by the neck. The detective then saw Mr, Jackson headbutt and shove the Coach Foster. Play resumed with Coach Foster standing on the sidelines, but near Mr. Jackson. After about a minute, Mr. Jackson went after Coach Foster again, grabbing him by the shirt and throwing him to the ground”

The incident originally led to the suspension of Marian boys basketball head coach R0bb Berger for the regional, which the Knights subsequently lost. 10 days later, Marian informed Berger he would not return next season.  Berger has said in multiple interviews that he was not given a reason for his dismissal, and Marian has offered no reason publicly.

Jackson is Marian’s all-time leading scorer with 1934 career points. He went on to a stellar career at Notre Dame, where he helped lead the Irish to Elite Eight appearances in 2015 and 2016. Jackson was drafted by Boston in the second round. He played parts of four NBA seasons with Boston, Houston and Philadelphia.

Jackson contributed money to help remodel Marian’s gym and the floor of that facility is called “Demetrius Jackson Court”. Last season, Marian retired his number, along with those of Devin Cannady and Jaden Ivey, two other Marian players who played in the NBA.
