TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) The Beaumont Enterprise is reporting Alabama safety Deionte Thompson and three other men have been indicted on charges stemming from a spring break fight.

The 20-year-old Thompson faces a second-degree felony charge of aggravated assault, causing serious bodily injury, according to the newspaper.

Also charged are 19-year-old Morris Joseph, Jr., 19-year-old Rufus Joseph and 21-year-old Daletredricc Wolfford.

A Galveston County grand jury returned the indictments last week, saying the four men caused ''serious bodily injury to Noah Frillou'' by hitting or kicking the 18-year-old.

Thompson is a redshirt sophomore at Alabama. He has played in eight games this season and made 12 tackles.

Alabama coach Nick Saban said in a statement: ''We are not going to make any judgments until that (legal) process has been completed.''
