Charges Due in Brawl
Police in Auburn Hills, Mich., were to have submitted results of their investigation into the Nov. 19 brawl at the end of the Detroit-Indiana game to prosecutors Monday and charges will be announced Wednesday, according to the Oakland County prosecutor’s office.
Names have yet to be announced but Oakland County prosecutor David Gorcyca said last week that Indiana players Ron Artest, Jermaine O’Neal, Stephen Jackson and David Harrison would be charged in the case, probably with misdemeanor assault. At least eight fans will be charged.
Meanwhile, O’Neal practiced with the Pacers Monday for the first time since the brawl.
