A man has been charged following the investigation of an incident the night of the Blue White game at an apartment rented by Penn State football players, one day after Joe Paterno said the situation was "blown way out of proportion."

Ronald Bridges, of Bear, Del., was charged with the controlled substance drug, device and cosmetic act after police said marijuana residue and similar items were found at the apartment April 25.

Deputy police chief Tyrone Parham says the case is now closed.
