Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III authorized six felony warrants today for students involved in the March 28-30 disturbances.
At least four warrants were issued to MSU students including five men and one woman for charges including inciting a riot, rioting, unlawful assembly, malicious destruction of property and preparation to burn property.
Fifteen charges were filed against the six people. Twelve of them are felony charges and four people are charged with inciting a riot.
Four students were suspended earlier this from school for their alleged involvement in the disturbances.
Lee June, vice president for student affairs and services, said 19 other students are in the university's judicial process. He said no further suspensions will come this week.
MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said a total of two people have turned over information from computers in relation to the disturbances. One person, in a separate case, had a computer confiscated.
All cases had separate warrants issued for the information.
Police have been confiscating hard drives holding images from the disturbances they believe could provide evidence against lawbreakers.
Dunnings said that searching for additional pictures and footage of the disturbances could last for months and so far has been assisted by the student body.
"They are helping us eradicate the stain from the university," Dunnings said.
