As NewsCenter 16 first reported on Sunday, two Notre Dame football players were among the 37 people arrested early Sunday morning as part of an underage drinking blitz.

At least 16 of those arrested were Notre Dame student-athletes.

St. Joe County Police first told NewsCenter 16's Erin Logan the list includes members of the football, and men's and women's lacrosse team.

Erin was also the first to speak to Notre Dame football coach Charlie Weis about the situation after his Sunday press conference. Weis said, at the time, he had just found out about the situation and was looking into it.

The two football players were junior tight end Will Yeatman, 20, and freshman offensive lineman Mike Golic Jr., 18.

Yeatman was booked for minor consumption, false informing and resisting arrest, according to a release Monday morning from St. Joe County police.

Yeatman, who has started all three games for the Irish this season, has two catches for six yards on the season. Earlier this year he was arrested for DUI and was suspended from both the football and lacrosse teams for the spring semester.

Golic Jr. has not played yet this season and was charged with minor consumption. He is the son of former Irish great Mike Golic.

Among those also arrested were Irish women's basketball player Brittany Mallory, 19. Mallory was a key reserve in Notre Dame's run to the Sweet 16 this spring. Mallory was booked for minor consumption.

Many of those arrested were members of the men's and women's lacrosse teams, including women's lacrosse starting goalie Erin Goodman, 20, who was booked for minor consumption, resisting arrest and maintaining a common nuisance.

Three of women's lacrosse players arrested were 21 years old (Shannon Burke, Lauren Demello and Beth Koloup) and were booked for maintaining a common nuisance.

Among the men's lacrosse players arrested were Scott Rodgers, 21, who was expected to take over as the Irish starting goalie this year. Rodgers was booked for resisting arrest.

The raid was a part of the "Stop Underage Drinking" campaign and was performed by St. Joe County Police, ISP, and Indiana State Excise Police.

South Bend Police also arrived to help secure the scene.

The arrests were made at a house party at 702 Colfax in South Bend.

After the two football players names were confirmed by NewsCenter 16, Weis released a statement to the media that repeated what he had told Erin earlier in the day.

“I was made aware of the situation late this afternoon and am currently looking into the matter," Weis said on Sunday night.

A total of three empty kegs of beer were found at the home along with hundreds of empty beer cans and drinking cups both inside and outside the residence, according to the release issued by the St. Joe County Police.

Police say people were found hiding under beds, in closets, in the attic and in the basement.
