STORRS, Conn. (AP) - A Hartford man has been charged with lying to police
investigating the stabbing death of UConn football player Jasper
Howard.

Muhammad was arrested on Monday and charged with making a false
statement, hindering prosecution and interfering with an officer.
He was arraigned on Tuesday and bond was set at $200,000.
Police say Muhammad twice denied to police any knowledge of
the Oct. 18 stabbings outside a UConn dance, but has told more than
one person that he witnessed the altercation.
Six people face charges stemming from the fight and the
police investigation.
Twenty-one-year-old John Lomax III of Bloomfield, is charged
with murder. He is being held on a $2 million bond.
