After a scuffle with police, State College residents Michael Shelley and Eric Garton were arrested Wednesday night on charges of disorderly conduct, the State College Police Department said. Police were called to investigate a loud party. When the police arrived, Shelley and Garton verbally confronted them. Police then approached the two men to identify the assailants. As the police approached, Shelley and Garton fled the scene to avoid being identified, police said. Police pursued Shelley and Garton on foot and overtook them. The two men engaged in a short scuffle with police before being subdued, police said.

Shelley and Garton were arraigned before District Justice Carmine Prestia and held on bail before being transported to Centre County Jail, police said. Shelley, who was out on bail, was arrested during last month's downtown riot after stealing the license plate from a police car, police said.
