BRIERE

Mercyhurst men’s hockey player Carson Briere has been charged with criminal mischief and disorderly conduct after a video showed him pushing a double amputee’s empty wheelchair down a flight of stairs at an Erie bar on March 11.

The Erie police filed the same set of charges against Patrick Carrozzi, a member of the Mercyhurst men’s lacrosse team.

The charges are the second-degree misdemeanors of criminal mischief related to damaged property, criminal conspiracy to commit criminal mischief and the summary offense of disorderly conduct.
