A Pittsburgh magistrate ruled Thursday that Ram defensive lineman Sean Gilbert and two University of Pittsburgh football players will face two felony charges and three lesser counts as a result of an altercation with a police officer at a Pittsburgh restaurant on March 24.
A felony criminal conspiracy charge was added to the original four charges--aggravated assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and obstructing a passageway--at a preliminary hearing for Gilbert, Reuben Brown and Jonathon McCray. Each of the assault charges carries a maximum penalty of 10 to 20 years imprisonment and a fine of up to $25,000. The other three charges are misdemeanors.
