2 Charged In Melee Before USC-UCLA Football Game

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Prosecutors have charged two men with resisting arrest and other crimes stemming from brawls among fans tailgating before Saturday's Southern California-UCLA football game at the Rose Bowl.

The district attorney's office says 24-year-old Joshua Elder of Temple City and 27-year-old Steven Michael Radu of Monrovia face arraignment Monday afternoon in Pasadena Superior Court.

Elder is also charged with misdemeanor exhibiting a deadly weapon and Radu is charged with trying to free Elder from police custody, a felony. Both remain jailed.

No charges have been filed yet in the stabbings of two people, which led to the arrest of a third man for investigation of attempted murder. One stabbing victim is hospitalized in stable condition. The other was released.
