SAN FRANCISCO — Cal quarterback Steve Levy pleaded not guilty Thursday to felony assault charges stemming from an incident that took place Sunday night at a North Beach bar. He was also ordered to stay away from the doorman, at whom he is accused of throwing a pint glass, and to keep away from Kells Irish Restaurant & Pub, located on Jackson Street. Court officials said such an order is common when a person is released on bail. The 22-year-old Levy, a University of California, Berkeley, senior who lives in Berkeley, was arrested Sunday morning on suspicion of assaulting the doorman, 23-year-old Bryan Zahn. Court officials said Levy was represented by his own counsel. Although free on $40,000 bail, Levy has been suspended from the Cal football team. According to reports, Levy got into a verbal altercation with another patron at the pub shortly before 1:30 a.m. Sunday because a woman refused to dance with him. The doorman then asked Levy to leave the establishment. Police said Levy subsequently grabbed a pint glass and heaved it at Zahn, who suffered a laceration to his head. Levy was doused with a beverage, although it's unclear whether that happened before or after he allegedly threw the pint glass at Zahn. Levy is scheduled to return to court on July 18.
