3rd Nittany Lion Charged In Campus Fight

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) ―

The lawyer for the third Penn State football player charged in connection with a campus fight is questioning how his client was identified.

Defensive tackle Phil Taylor's lawyer also says he will look into whether Taylor had been defending himself.

Taylor is charged with felony aggravated assault as well as misdemeanor charges of simple assault and disorderly conduct.

Authorities say Taylor along with two former Penn State players already charged beat up a man during a dance in October. The victim was treated at the scene.

Taylor also faces one count of summary harassment and stalking.

He was suspended from the team last month.

Former players Chris Baker and Navorro Bowman were kicked off the team in January and are awaiting trial.
