Two Michigan State receivers arrested for allegedly planting homemade bombs

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Two Michigan State football players were arrested and charged with possessing a dangerous chemical compound after they allegedly planted homemade bombs that blew up outside campus apartments.

Terry Love and Irving Campbell, both 19-year-old redshirt freshmen receivers, were arrested Tuesday morning as they left the scene of the first explosion, campus police said. A second bomb exploded shortly afterward, and a third was detonated by the campus police bomb squad.

The men said they planted the bombs in Spartan Village as a prank, campus police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said.


No one was hurt and there was no property damage, McGlothian-Taylor said. The players released on $500 bond after being arraigned Tuesday.

If convicted of the misdemeanor, both could face up to 90 days in jail and a $100 fine, McGlothian-Taylor said.

Coach John L. Smith will let the legal process play out and then decide if any disciplinary action is needed, assistant athletic director John Lewandowski said.

Love has 19 catches for 208 yards and a touchdown this season. Campbell has not caught a pass.

It will be interesting to compare the penalty to these football players to that of USC lineman Winston Justice, who lost this season because of pulling a pellet gun on somebody.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A University of Southern California football player has pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor count of exhibition of a replica firearm and was sentenced to 60 days of electronic monitoring and three years' probation.
A plea deal was reached Monday before jury selection in the trial of Winston Justice, a sophomore and two-year starter on the offensive line for the Trojans.

"I'm happy it's over. ... Now it's time to move on," Justice said.

Justice was arrested March 3 for allegedly pulling a pellet gun on a student during a Feb. 24 dispute in a parking structure near the USC campus.

Justice, 19, pleaded not guilty in April to three counts of exhibition of a replica firearm. At his May pretrial hearing, he rejected a plea offer from prosecutors that called for a 90-day jail sentence. The plea deal was reached after Justice's attorney, Larry Clough, twice met with Deputy City Attorney Melanie Chavira in Superior Court Judge Patricia M. Schnegg's chambers.

Under the terms of the plea agreement, Justice can leave his parents' Long Beach home only for workouts, one-hour voluntary counseling sessions and scheduled meetings with an administrator from USC's Office of Student Affairs. He also was ordered to stay away from the area near the student housing complex where the incident occurred.

Justice was suspended for two semesters by USC's Office of Student Judicial Affairs and Community Standards after his arrest. The offensive tackle will sit out the 2004 season, but said he plans to return to USC next spring and resume playing for the Trojans in 2005.
