PROVO — An All-American track star for BYU who is accused of assaulting a pedestrian in a Provo crosswalk was arrested Thursday afternoon.

Provo Police Capt. Cliff Argyle said distance runner Kyle Perry, 23, was traveling east on Center Street when he reportedly struck a pedestrian in a crosswalk with his car.

Argyle said after hitting the pedestrian, who was pushing a mop bucket, Perry is accused of getting out of his vehicle, grabbing a mop from the bucket and striking the pedestrian with the mop. The pedestrian reportedly grabbed another mop to defend himself, Argyle said.

Perry is accused of then shoving the pedestrian over a planter box and getting back into his car and attempting to leave the scene. But the pedestrian reportedly stood in front of the vehicle and didn't allow Perry to leave until police arrived.

BYU cross-country coach Ed Eyestone said he'll let the legal issues work themselves out but is confident in his athlete.

Now the temples...yeah. No chance. Not even my Mormon fiance (ex-mormon, if you will) can't get into those...he's a bad bad Mormon :D
