CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — A University of Oregon student is facing charges for artificial turf burned and damaged at the Oregon State University football stadium after Oregon won the rival “Civil War” game last weekend.
The Oregon State Police said Wednesday that troopers arrested 20-year-old Joshua David Britton Tuesday night at an apartment in Eugene.
State police said they received more than 50 tips based on a photo and video of an unidentified young man holding what appeared to be a burning shirt at Reser Stadium in Corvallis after the Oregon victory on Saturday.
Troopers said Britton was booked in Benton County on charges that include riot, criminal mischief and reckless burning.
The charges will be forwarded to the Benton County district attorney’s office for consideration.
