Two ex-Huskers, two current players ticketed at party
LINCOLN (AP) Former Nebraska football players Maurice Purify and Carl Nicks and two current squad members were ticketed when police broke up a weekend party.
The current players cited were Ben Martin and Mike Smith.
Police were called to a residence in northwest Lincoln shortly before midnight Saturday. Officer Katie Flood said police heard music coming from the house that was audible from the sidewalk. There were about 75 people inside, and empty beer cans were strewn about the home.
Flood said police cited 10 partygoers who remained after officers told everyone to leave, including the four.
Smith was accused of maintaining a disorderly house, and Purify and Martin of being inmates of a disorderly house. Police arrested Nicks on suspicion of being an inmate of a disorderly house and failure to disperse after he wouldn't leave.
Martin, a defensive lineman, appeared in six games last season. Smith, an offensive lineman, is in line for a starting position this year.
Purify, a receiver, and Nicks, an offensive lineman, were starters on last year's team. Both participated in the NFL scouting combine last month.
Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said the situation would be handled internally.
