Warrants were issued today for the arrests of two MSU believed to athletes involved in an off-campus brawl.

Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings authorized three counts of aggravated assault against one person and one count of assault and battery against a second.

Authorities will not release their identities until they have been arraigned, however, the Associated Press is reporting that East Lansing 54-B District Court documents show that freshman running back Glenn Winston will face three counts of misdemeanor aggravated assault, while walk-on freshman defensive back Mitchell White will be charged with misdemeanor assault and battery.

The charges stem from a brawl among MSU athletes on October 19th at a house off campus. MSU hockey player AJ Sturges was seriously injured in the fight that involved MSU football players.

Sturges was hospitalized for about a week.

Prosecutor Dunnings says the investigation is continuing.

Late Monday afternoon, MSU Athletic Director Mark Hollis released the following statement:
"Michigan State University provides a positive environment for students to learn and engage in new experiences. Along with this opportunity, come the expectations that individuals will act appropriately and make positive contributions to our campus and community. Those individuals who stray from this responsibility are held accountable on several levels for those detrimental actions. While I am displeased with the circumstances and actions that led to these charges, I respect the integrity and approach of our coaching staffs, East Lansing Police Department, and Prosecutor's office in their response to the situation. Most importantly, my thoughts continue to be with A.J. Sturges, a respected student-athlete on our ice hockey team. The particular circumstances aside, no member of the University community should experience this kind of injury. We have trust in the justice system and we look forward to A.J.'s recovery."
