IN BRIEF

McDonald arrested for second time

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — NFL lineman Ray McDonald has been arrested for the second time this week.

The Santa Clara Police Department says the former San Francisco defensive end violated a restraining order by being at a residence in Santa Clara on Wednesday.

The restraining order was issued after an earlier domestic violence incident in Santa Clara on Memorial Day. In that incident, he allegedly broke down a bedroom door to get to his ex-fiancee and their infant.

He was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence and child endangerment, but was free on bail. The Chicago Bears released the lineman Monday following that arrest.

On Wednesday, Santa Clara detectives found McDonald him at a Togo’s Sandwiches in Santa Clara, where they arrested him without incident. He will be booked at Santa Clara County Jail.

Big 12 schools must control fans

IRVING, Texas — The Big 12 Conference has passed a measure under which schools could face fines or even the loss of future home games for failing to control fans who storm courts or rush fields after games.

Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said Wednesday at the league’s spring meetings that he’s been given broad prerogatives to deal with such issues.

In February, Bowlsby publicly reprimanded Kansas State for failing to prevent Wildcats fans from pouring onto the court.
