SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Joe Montana’s son is one of the 11 Notre Dame athletes who were among 42 people arrested on misdemeanor charges of underage drinking at a party Friday night.

A St. Joseph County sheriff’s spokesman said on Saturday that Nate Montana, son of the former Irish and NFL standout, was one of eight football players arrested. Tim Abromaitis, the basketball team’s second-leading scorer, one of his teammates and an incoming hockey player also were arrested.

Two other non-athletes face a misdemeanor charge of providing alcohol to minors. The sheriff’s spokesman said most had been released on $150 bond.

Notre Dame officials said coaches were aware of the arrests and any possible discipline would be handled internally.
