Authorities in Aspen say two Michigan State football players were arrested after a reported disturbance at a bar.

Nineteen-year-old Max Bullough and 23-year-old Brian Linthicum were arrested shortly after midnight Thursday morning at the Regal Watering Hole. Staff had reported Linthicum assaulting another patron, Benjamin Nichols of London.

The Aspen Police Department said Friday that Bullough was charged with underage possession of alcohol and Linthicum was charged with assault in the third degree. Both were charged with eluding officers.

They were released soon after their arrest. They are scheduled to appear in court in Aspen on April 19.

Michigan State did not have any immediate comment on the arrests.
