Bryson White, Ron George Arrested for Allegedly Holding Woman at Gunpoint
Western Michigan University football players Bryson White and Ron George were arrested following an off-campus incident in which they allegedly held up a female student on Friday.
Per WWMT 3 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, White and George were arrested in a car on the Western Michigan campus with weapons and stolen money. The two allegedly held up the woman with a knife and semi-automatic gun.
On Sunday, Western Michigan announced both players have been dismissed by the team, per Dr. Saturday.
"This has been difficult for our university, community and family," Western Michigan head coach P.J. Fleck said, per Dr. Saturday. "With this action we are moving forward and we are focusing our attention on Northwestern."
Prior to their dismissal, the players were suspended on Saturday. Fleck released a statement to WWMT about the alleged incident:
"Having heard this news early this morning, I took action to immediately suspend both freshman players indefinitely. We expect to learn more about these allegations today. I'm extremely disappointed and want to assure the community that this kind of conduct is unacceptable and does not represent the values of this team or this university. The students will be held accountable to all University student- code, Athletic-student athlete and Football Code of conduct standards. Violations of these standards can lead to dismissal from the team and University.
"
WWMT added that jail records show White and George remain in custody at the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office. There are no additional details about the alleged incident as of right now.
White was a freshman wide receiver, and George was a freshman linebacker on the Western Michigan football team. The Broncos are scheduled to open the 2016 season September 3 at Northwestern.
