University of Michigan Deputy Police Chief Melissa Overton made the announcement Saturday night, two weeks after multiple members of Michigan State’s football team roughed up two Michigan players.

Michigan State coach Mel Tucker suspended eight players for their role in the melee. Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has said he expects the suspended Spartans to be criminally charged.
Harbaugh said defensive back Gemon Green was punched by a Spartans player, sparking the brawl shortly after the Wolverines beat their in-state rivals; teammate Ja’Den McBurrows was attacked when he tried to help.
Green sustained a concussion; attorney Tom Mars is representing Green and said his client deserves to be compensated for his injuries.
