AKRON, Ohio (AP) — The University of Akron has suspended
three football players following their arrests on charges related to an
incident near campus in April.
Summit County Sheriff’s Office

safety Johnny Robinson, running back Bryan Green and corner back Donte
Williams.
Robinson, of Cleveland, is charged with aggravated
menacing and aggravated riot. Green, of Farmington, Michigan, is charged
with aggravated riot, while Williams, of Greenbelt, Maryland, is
charged with resisting arrest, obstructing official business and
