Two TCU football players were arrested Monday afternoon on robbery charges.
According to NBCDFW.com, senior defensive end Mike Tuaua and freshman wide receiver Andre Petties-Wilson are both accused of assaulting and robbing three male students on Friday Sept. 4 and are charged with "felony complaint of robbery and bodily injury.
The alleged victims told police they were “beaten outside a party” and the attackers stole their case of Keystone Light beer.
From NBCDFW.com:
In a campus crime alert issued after the theft, TCU police said three people had shown up uninvited at the party, got kicked out and then attacked three TCU students and stole a case of beer.
Medics treated one of the students at the scene and transported another to a nearby hospital with minor injuries, said MedStar spokesman Matt Zavadsky.
The attackers were described as muscular, at least 6 feet tall and between 18-years-old and 21-years-old. One of the three had long bushy hair, police said. Tuaua is known for his unruly hair.
According to ESPN, Tuaua, who was arrested before Petties-Wilson, has been suspended from the team. Tuaua started five games for the Horned Frogs in 2014 but has not played in the team’s past two games.
Petties-Wilson redshirted in 2014 and made his debut against Minnesota in Week 1. Like Tuaua, he has not played the past two weeks.
The third-ranked Horned Frogs open their Big 12 schedule this weekend at Texas Tech.
