SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — The Pullman Police Department recommended Friday that assault charges be filed against two more Washington State University football players, bringing to four the number in legal trouble.
Police Chief Gary Jenkins will ask the Whitman County prosecutor to bring charges of second-degree assault, a felony, against defensive tackle Robert Barker and defensive lineman Toso Fehoko.
Jenkins said the charges would relate to the players' actions during a large brawl that erupted on July 23 that left several people injured.
Up to 100 people were at the location where the brawl occurred, and police interviewed 61 witnesses, including 22 WSU football players, Jenkins said.
