Six current Western Kentucky University football players and a former player have been indicted in an assault case at a campus fraternity.
Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear said in a news release that a Warren County grand jury indicted the men on various charges Wednesday. The indictment accuses the men of illegally entering the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity on March 5 and four men allegedly assaulted an individual.
The charges include felony wanton endangerment and three misdemeanors: fourth-degree assault, menacing and criminal trespass. Among the players charged were backup running back Quinton Baker and starting defensive lineman Chris Johnson.
The school's athletic department says in a news release that Baker, Johnson, wide receivers Xavier Lane and Jahcour Pearson, linebacker Tyler Obee, and defensive lineman Cecil Stallings have been suspended indefinitely.
