Michigan State police: Investigation involving 3 players, 1 employee will take time

LANSING, Mich. -- Michigan State University police chief Jim Dunlap said Wednesday he doesn't expect the next step in a sexual assault investigation involving three members of the Spartans football team to be a "short-term turnaround."

Michigan State announced on Feb. 9 that it was suspending three football players and one member of the football staff pending the results of a sexual assault investigation. The three players were also removed from student housing, the university said.

Campus police submitted requests for four arrest warrants to the Ingham County Prosecutor's Office on Feb. 16. Three of the requests were for sexual assault charges.
