Police arrested 37 people and ticketed one juvenile late Saturday and early Sunday morning at a house on the 700 block of Colfax Ave. in South Bend, Sgt. William Redman of the St. Joseph County Police said Monday in a press release.
In addition to breaking up the party at Colfax Ave., police raided at least three local South Bend bars, including the Linebacker Lounge at 1631 South Bend Ave., Club Landing at 1717 Lincoln Way East and Inferno Bar and Grill at 1150 Mishawaka Ave, according to Lt. Tim Cleveland of the Indiana State Excise Police.
The charges for those arrested at Colfax Ave. included 31 for minor consumption, three for possession of false ID, two for false informing, six for maintaining a common nuisance, one charge of possession of drug paraphernalia and three for resisting arrest. At least 17 of those arrested were student-athletes at Notre Dame.
Junior tight end Will Yeatman and freshman center Mike Golic Jr. were among those arrested at Colfax Ave. Yeatman was charged with consumption of alcohol by a minor, false informing and resisting arrest. Golic was charged with consumption of alcohol by a minor, according to the release
Yeatman could face additional charges because he was previously arrested for drunk driving in January. He entered a year-long probationary period and pleaded guilty to drunken driving and reckless driving, according to the AP. His plea agreement said if Yeatman did not commit any other crimes, the drunken-driving charge would be dropped, according to the AP.
Yeatman was suspended from Notre Dame athletics for spring 2008. He also plays attack for the men's lacrosse team.
Golic's father, Mike Sr., played defensive line for Notre Dame and later for the Houston Oilers, Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins. He is now the host of "Mike & Mike in the Morning" on ESPN Radio.
Irish Football coach Charlie Weis said he was made aware of the situation early Sunday afternoon. He said in a statement that he is "currently looking into the matter."
