DEAL - A pair of Monmouth University football players were charged with multiple offenses Sunday after police were called to a large fight at an off-campus party that drew between 200 and 300 people, police said.

Christian Runza Jr., 20, of Norwood, and Michael Christ, 21, of Sterling, Virg., who were tenants of the house, were charged with disorderly conduct, maintaining a nuisance, providing alcohol to underage persons and borough ordinance violations for underage consumption of alcohol on private property and littering.

The fight broke when a group of approximately 30 people were denied entry into the party around 12:30 a.m., police said. That group vandalized several motor vehicles parked in the area, police said.

Several other smaller fights broke out as police officers from Deal, Ocean Township, Long Branch and Allenhurst attempted to clear the home of approximately 200-300 partygoers, police said.

Police said many of the party's attendees "were very uncooperative toward officers on scene and fled the location."

Runza and Christ were released on a summons pending a future court date.

The assaults and criminal mischief to the vehicles that were parked in the area, as well as other violations were still being investigated by the Deal Police Department as of Thursday.

Police are reviewing surveillance footage and Monmouth University police are cooperating with the investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Deal Police Department at 732-531-1113.
