In the wake of a downtown disturbance involving several thousand students, State College Police say 15 individuals have been singled out for arrest within the week.

As of Friday, 15 people have been identified "as participating in the riot in various ways," and those people will be formerly charged next week, State College Police Chief Tom King said in a press release.

King said the 15 people were identified by police and from tips that came to the police from citizens.

King said the range of charges that will be filed against the individuals include riot, a felony; resisting arrest, failure to disperse, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief, all misdemeanors; and arson, scattering rubbish, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief, all summary offenses. King added additional arrests are anticipated in the coming weeks.

Police also posted 12 photos of people police say were involved in Saturday night's destruction, and King said they hope the public can help identify the people. The photos can be viewed at statecollegepa.us and anyone with information can call 234-7150 or submit an anonymous tip through the Web site, police said.

Det. Ken Ferron said the majority of the people who have been identified are Penn State students.

"State College Police will be turning over information about students who were involved in that situation, and Judicial Affairs will be investigating to see if those people violated university policy or the student conduct code, and appropriate sanctions will follow," Penn State spokeswoman Annemarie Mountz said.
