LAS CRUCES, New Mexico (KVIA)- Court documents reveal football players, linebacker Drake Williams and defensive end Victor Shaw, with NMSU were arrested in early March for separate incidents and are facing several charges.

Shaw is facing the following charges: Negligent Use of a Deadly Weapon (Intoxication), Concealing Identity, Resisting and Evading or Obstructing an Officer.
