WILLIMANTIC, Conn. -- Five Connecticut football players were charged in a case in which the window of a vehicle was shot out as two cars passed in a parking lot.
The five were arrested Sunday following a complaint at a convenience store, police said.
The driver's side window of one car was shot, although it was not immediately clear which car was hit. The suspects fled in a sport utility vehicle and were located a few minutes later, police added.
Tyvon Branch, Daniel Davis, Daniel Lansanah and Marvin Taylor were charged with possession of a weapon in a motor vehicle and released after posting $750 bond.
Donta Moore was charged with possession of a weapon in a motor vehicle, second-degree reckless endangerment, third-degree criminal mischief, third-degree assault, unlawful discharge of a firearm. He was released after posting $1,000 bail.
Branch is a sophomore safety, Davis is a sophomore defensive end, Lansanah is a sophomore linebacker, Moore is a junior safety and Taylor is a sophomore safety.
A message left at the university Monday was not immediately returned.
