Five Rutgers University football players were arrested Thursday and charged with robbery, burglary while armed, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, riot and aggravated assault. The charges stem from a series of incidents in April and May that included a home invasion, an armed robbery and what police called an "unprovoked attack" on a group of individuals, including a Rutgers student whose jaw was broken. The players have been suspended indefinitely from the team, the university announced.
