[M LAX] 2 Orangemen suspended

Syracuse Post-Standard
Syracuse police responded to a call of several males fighting at 11:15 p.m. Sunday in front of Ohm Lounge on Franklin Street.

Perritt, 20, a sophomore midfielder, and Carrozza, 20, a junior midfielder, appeared to be intoxicated and were involved in the fight. Earlier in the evening, police had been called to another fight, this one on Walton Street, that also involved the two SU players. Police approached Perritt, who had a bloody nose, but he and Carrozza said they did not need police assistance and officers left the scene.

The second time officers responded, both players were placed under arrest. Perritt, according to the police report, refused to comply until an officer pushed his chest into a brick wall. Carrozza also refused to comply with arresting officers. He shoved the officer who was attempting to arrest him and was wrestled to the ground and subsequently handcuffed.

While police were subduing Carrozza, Perritt fled the scene and was later found in the parking lot of the Half Penny Pub on Fayette Street. When police located him, Perritt refused to put his hands behind his back to be handcuffed until officers forced him to do so.
