SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- The son of former Notre Dame standout Joe Montana was among 11 Fighting Irish athletes arrested on misdemeanor charges of underage drinking at a party Friday night.

A total of 44 people were arrested after city police responded to a call about a fight near a roadway and discovered the party, said St. Joseph County Police assistant chief Bill Redman.

Two non-athletes face a misdemeanor charge of providing alcohol to minors. The arrests were handled by state excise police, who didn't immediately return a message seeking comment on Saturday.

The most recognizable athletes arrested were Nate Montana, a walk-on who was the backup to starter Dayne Crist coming out of the spring, and Tim Abromaitis, the second leading scorer on the Irish basketball team at 16.1 points a game last season.

2. Like father, like son?

Is there a tradition of partying in the Montana family? I have a friend who knew a cop in the 80s that swears that pater Montana was pulled over on the highway by CHP and found to be in possession of cocaine. After recognizing him (this was after he retired), they posed for photographs with him and then sent him on his way.

The perks of being a legend...:silly:
