Former NU running back may
have violated protection order
By Mike Kluck
Staff Reporter
New Orleans Saints running back
Derek Brown was served with a pro
tection order on Monday, and on
Tuesday night the former Nebraska
running back was arrested in Lincoln
for violation of that order.
However, there is not enough evi
dence to merit a charge at this time
Deputy Lancaster County Attorney
Amy Jacobsen said Wednesday.
On Monday, Amy Trout of
Lincoln filed an Ex Parte Protection
Order in District Court asking for
protection from Brown entering the
premises occupied by Trout and from
harassing and stalking her by either
telephone or in person. Brown was
served the notice on Monday and a
hearing was scheduled for July 14,
1997.
In the report Trout said she had
lived with Brown in the past and he
had fathered her two children, Kierra,
5, and Darian, 1. Trout said Brown
had beaten her up before, once when
she was five months pregnant with
her son. She also said he had choked
her on several occasions.
On July 6,1997, Trout said Brown
had been stalking her outside her
apartment and only left when neigh
bors came to her residence.
She said he continued to harass
her by phone until 2 a.m. by calling
repeatedly but not talking and hang
ing up.
“I’m fearing for my life when he
is around,” Trout said in the report.
Brown had been arrested on Jan.
24, 1997 for a third degree assault of
Trout. In the protection order she said
Brown attacked her on a street and ran
after her, grabbed her and slammed
her down to the cement. He slammed
her head against the cement hard
enough to leave a large lump.
The Lancaster County Attorney
dismissed the case against Brown on
Feb. 25, 1997, in agreement that he
would participate in a Diversion
Services Program. Court records
indicate that a charge of violating a
previous protection order filed by
Trout against Brown was dropped in
1994.
Protection orders typically expire
after a year.
Brown was an All-Big Eight run
ning back for the University of
Nebraska in 1991 and 1992. He left
school early to play professional foot
ball.
