(Reuters) - Six University of Notre Dame football players were arrested in Indiana overnight, five on suspicion of marijuana possession and the sixth after an altercation at a local bar, officials and local media reported on Saturday.

Devin Butler, identified as a cornerback on the nationally ranked team, was arrested early Saturday morning on suspicion of battery and resisting law enforcement, both felonies, after a fight at a bar in South Bend, the St. Joseph County Police Department said. An affidavit claimed that “a police officer said the player punched and slammed him to the ground outside a bar,” NBC Sports reported.

Butler, who was held at the county jail, was scheduled to be arraigned on Monday.

The five others - Te’Von Coney, Max Redfield, Kevin Stepherson Jr., Ashton White and Dexter Williams - were arrested on the misdemeanor marijuana charge after a traffic stop near Rochester, about 50 miles south of the school’s South Bend campus, police in a statement.

Three of the five also face a charge of possessing a firearm without a license after police found a loaded handgun in the car, the state police said.

The only way to stop these behaviors, college and pro, is NO second chances.

“Three of the five also face a charge of possessing a firearm without a license after police found a loaded handgun in the car, the state police said.”

How stupid can cops get? The Second Amendment allows “people” to “keep and bear arms”, and the owner of the car probably placed -the firearm found in the car.

-—Three of the five also face a charge of possessing a firearm without a license...-—

Am I to understand that even though there are strict laws requiring permits and background checks, people will STILL obtain firearms if they want them, knowing that it’s illegal?

Outlaws don’t follow the law? Who could have known?

It's the Fighting Irish, not the Fighting Amish. Or at least it used to be.
