STATE COLLEGE — Penn State defensive tackle Chris Baker and backup linebacker Navorro Bowman were charged with assault Thursday over a campus fight in which authorities said a man was bloodied after being kicked and punched.

Baker, 20, of Windsor, Conn., and Bowman, 19, of District Heights, Md., were arraigned Thursday on charges including felony aggravated assault and two misdemeanors, simple assault and disorderly conduct. Each was also charged with summary harassment and stalking.

Baker and Bowman were released on their own recognizance. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Wednesday.

Cornerback Knowledge Timmons will be issued a summons by mail for charges of disorderly conduct and defiant trespass in connection with an incident after the fight, Centre County Assistant District Attorney Steve Sloane said.

Coach Joe Paterno at his weekly news conference on Oct. 9 said he was looking into the possibility that players may have been involved in a fight days earlier. Penn State plays at Michigan State on Saturday in the regular-season finale.

Baker, Bowman and Timmons will not travel to Michigan State due to Thursday's developments, the team said.
