PrintCOLUMBIA — The first of two trials for former MU running back and team co-captain Derrick Washington is set for Wednesday afternoon.
Washington is scheduled to appear in a Boone County courtroom on two misdemeanor charges of domestic violence.
An ex-girlfriend said Washington poked her eyes and choked her during an argument last September. She later told prosecutors Washington had previously assaulted her at least seven times.

- Former Missouri running back Derrick Washington and assistant prosecutor Andrea Hayes were in court Monday for pretrial motions in Washington's pending deviant sexual assault case. Washington's trial is scheduled to begin with jury selection Sept. 20.
Washington faces a separate trial in late June on a felony sexual assault charge involving a former Missouri athletics tutor.
He has pleaded not guilty in both cases.
