Two TCU football players were arrested Monday afternoon on felony robbery charges, according to police.
Senior defensive end Mike Tuaua, 22, of Rohnert Park, California, and redshirt freshman wide receiver Andre Petties-Wilson, 19, of San Diego, were booked into jail on charges they assaulted and robbed three male students at about 11:30 p.m. Sept. 4.
The students told police they were beaten outside a party on Lowden Street and the attackers stole a case of Keystone Light beer. Medics treated one student at the scene and transported another to a nearby hospital with minor injuries, MedStar spokesman Matt Zavadsky said.
In a campus crime alert issued after the theft, campus police said three people showed up to the party uninvited, were kicked out and then attacked three TCU students and stole a case of beer.

The attackers were described as muscular, at least 6 feet tall and between 18 and 21 years old. One of the three had long bushy hair, police said. Tuaua is known for his unruly hair.
Both Tuaua and Pettis-Wilson have been suspended from the team and are free after posting $15,000 bond Monday.
