Notre Dame QB Rees, LB Calabrese arrested early Thursday morning

Irish junior quarterback Tommy Rees and senior linebacker Carlo Calabrese were arrested early Thursday morning by the South Bend Police Department, St. Joseph County police spokesperson Sgt. Bill Redman said.

Rees was arrested and preliminarily charged for resisting arrest, battery to law enforcement, minor consumption and public intoxication, Redman said.

Calabrese was arrested for misdemeanor disorderly conduct and has since posted bond and was released at 3:42 a.m. on $150 cash bond, Redman said.

Redman said Rees was still being held at St. Joseph County Jail as of 4:40 a.m.

“The prosecutor has up to 48 hours from the time of the arrest to decide what charges they are going to pursue,” Redman said. “Up until then, there would be no bond.”

Redman said the preliminary charges of resisting arrest and battery to law enforcement could potentially be charged as felonies, depending on what the local prosecutor decides.

Redman said both were arrested around 12:30 Thursday morning at 716 North Notre Dame Avenue in South Bend.

Rees started 16 games at quarterback over the last two seasons, and is involved in a four-player competition for the fall’s starting position.
