Tech football players indicted

A Montgomery County Circuit Court grand jury indicted seven Virginia Tech football players and one former player Wednesday in connection with an August brawl that left another student with a broken collarbone. Seven of the eight - including defensive star Cornell Brown - face misdemeanor assault and battery charges, rather than a more serious felony.

A ninth player also was indicted on a felony abduction charge in connection with a separate incident that occurred in late July. For more details, see today's front page and Sports section.
