2 West Virginia players arrested in Pittsburgh
Joe Mazzulla and Cameron Thoroughman were arrested Monday at PNC Park, where the Pirates were playing the Colorado Rockies. The two were in custody and awaiting arraignment Tuesday.
"We will let the judicial process take its course and the matter will be handled internally," West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said.
Mazzulla, a 6-2 junior from Johnston, R.I., was charged with aggravated assault, hindering apprehension and underage drinking. Thoroughman, a 6-foot-7 sophomore from Portsmouth, Ohio, was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and underage drinking.
The 20-year-old players began arguing with police when they refused a request for identification, according to a criminal complaint. The officers said the two smelled of alcohol.
Mazzulla was a reserve in all 37 of the team's games last season. He averaged 5.8 points and was third on the team in steals. Thoroughman appeared in 16 games, averaging 1.3 rebounds.
