By Acy Jackson University Editor One day after sophomore Delaney Robinson and her lawyer announced their intent to pursue self-sworn misdemeanor charges against UNC football player Allen Artis, he turned himself in. According to a statement from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, Artis was then released on a $5,000 unsecured bond Wednesday. He was suspended from the football team Tuesday. Robinson’s lawyer Denise Branch, of the Raleigh firm Stuart Law, released a statement in response to Artis’s appearance. “Everyone should be accountable for their actions, and we are pleased the process is finally moving forward,” she said. Robinson and Branch pursued the self-sworn warrants for two misdemeanor charges — sexual battery and assault on a female — because they were unhappy with how UNC’s Title IX office and other officials DTH/JOSÉ VALLE AND NICK BAFIA had handled the case. The proposed fee would contribute to more space for the school as well as new amenities such as blended classrooms and a leadership program.
