Two SU football players were arrested Saturday, including its starting linebacker.

Defensive standout Marcus Spruill and Steve Rene were arrested last night. Spruill was charged with disorderly conduct and second-degree harassment while Rene was charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

Rene and Spruill were arrested after police arrived on Euclid to find Rene in middle of the street yelling at people, Sgt. Tom Connellan of the Syracuse Police Department told the Post-Standard.

Weekly columnist Sean Kirst talks about his approach to storytelling and his love of writing.

As a columnist for The Post-Standard for the past 11 years, Sean Kirst has acted as government watchdog, a community advocate, a local historian and more.
