SAN DIEGO, April 11 (UPI) -- A San Diego grand jury indicted 10 people in an alleged college basketball point-shaving scheme, including two former players and an ex-assistant coach.
The U.S. Attorney's office in San Diego said Monday the federal indictment accused the defendants of bribing players to change the outcome of games and placing bets on those games in Las Vegas.
The indictment named former University of San Diego assistant coach Thaddeus Brown and former USD players Brandon Dowdy and Brandon Johnson. The allegedly fixed games were not immediately revealed.
The charges include conspiracy to commit sports bribery, bookmaking and distribution of marijuana.
The San Diego Union-Tribune reported another defendant, Steven Gloria, barricaded himself in his San Diego home when the FBI arrived with a search warrant Monday morning. The standoff lasted 2 hours and brought a SWAT team to the scene.
