Four more UVa athletes were arrested by Charlottesville police on Monday in connection with a break-in and brawl at the Delta Upsilon fraternity house last month.
About two weeks ago, UVA first-years Michael Brown, a varsity football player, and Michael Giallombardo, a varsity soccer player, were arrested in connection with the incident. On April 1, Brown was spotted practicing with the football team again, after having been cleared of all charges, save trespassing, by the student-run UVA Judiciary Committee.
On Monday, police arrested Enong© Stovall, a freshman on the UVa women’s basketball team; Zak Stair, a sophomore offensive tackle on the football team; Edwin Pinigis, a junior offensive tackle; and recently ousted defensive lineman Vince Redd. The arrests are part of a police investigation that could involve as many as 15 people, most from the football team.
