MISSOULA — The two other people who were with Montana football player Justin Strong during an assault in Pullman, Washington, over the weekend are Griz football players, Pullman police chief Gary Jenkins confirmed Thursday evening.

"We are not releasing their names, but they are Univ of Montana football players," Jenkins wrote in an email.

No charges have been filed against Strong, who was released after being booked for involvement in a second-degree assault, a felony in Washington.

Jenkins also said the University of Montana Police Department is assisting the Pullman Police Department with interviews of "witnesses and persons of interest" who attend the University of Montana. The investigation continues.

It is unknown at this time if Montana's Athlete Conduct Team is looking into preliminary action against the other two football players.

The victim of the assault, Bradley "Wyatt" Meyring, has been released from the hospital as well, Jenkins said, though he was unsure of what day Meyring was discharged. The Spokesman-Review newspaper in Spokane reported he was released Tuesday.

Strong is suspended for Montana's next two games against Weber State and Northern Arizona.
