Western Michigan has dismissed freshman wide receiver Bryson White and freshman linebacker Ronald George just two days after the pair were arrested for armed robberty, according to Justin Dacey of Mlive.com.

The two players were also charged with first-degree home invasion and larceny in a building along with armed robbery. Both White and George were accused of holding up a woman with a gun and a knife.

The victim of the alleged robbery, who wished to remain anonymous, spoke with Logan Crawford of WWMT.com and explained that both suspects forced their way into her apartment.

"He had the gun to the back of my head and he slammed the back of my head with the gun," the victim stated.

Broncos head coach P.J. Fleck wasted little time in suspending the players indefinitely Saturday morning, and only needed one additional day to gather enough information to decide the players' fate with the team.

"This has been a difficult time for our University, community and family," Fleck said in a statement. "With this action we are moving forward and we are focusing our attention on Northwestern."
