Students await trial after disturbances

Ingham County Circuit Court will hear the cases of two more MSU students charged for the March 28-30 disturbances.

Tony Warren waived his right to a district court preliminary examination Friday in the East Lansing 54-B District Court, 101 Linden St., before Judge Richard Ball.

Ingham County Assistant Prosecutor Marie Wolfe said Timothy Ricker, also being charged, would be waiving his right to a preliminary examination later this week.

Both Warren and Ricker are being charged with unlawful assembly and preparing to burn less than $200 in property.

The disturbances followed MSU's men's basketball team March loss in the NCAA tournament. About 2,000 people flooded the streets of East Lansing causing about $40,000 in damage to campus and the city. City officials launched a Web site in the days following the riots that awarded $2,500 to people who could identify and help convict those who took part in the disturbances.
