Brawl with Ohio State

On January 25, 1972, Behagen was involved in one of the most serious on-court incidents in college basketball history when he and several teammates attacked

Fred Taylor described it as "the sorriest thing [he] ever saw in intercollegiate athletics."[5] Behagen and Corky Taylor were suspended for the rest of that season,[6] though Witte did not press charges against either.[7][8]

Later years

On January 3, 2012, Behagen was sentenced to three years probation and ordered to pay restitution after pleading guilty to stealing money from a 68-year-old Atlanta woman suffering from Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and dementia. According to the Fulton County District Attorney's Office, Behagen received the woman's ATM card from her caretaker, Valla Rider. Behagen withdrew $7,140 from the woman's bank account in 40 transactions between April 2011 and June 2011; all of the transactions were recorded on bank cameras. Rider had pleaded guilty to financial transaction card fraud in August 2011.[9]
