ATHENS, Greece - A U.S. Olympic volleyball player was given a 15-month suspended sentence Wednesday for assaulting an officer and resisting arrest.
Clay Stanley, who lives in Greece and plays for a local team, said he was drunk at the time and apologized for Sunday’s scuffle at a nightclub following the closing ceremony of the Olympics.
Stanley was also charged with assaulting a pregnant woman during the scuffle but those charges were subsequently dropped.
