COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Out of the 48 people arrested early Sunday in riots near the Ohio State campus area, only four have been identified as OSU students.

Officials: Riots Tarnish OSU Win

They now face immediate suspension, a Columbus television station reported.

Police vowed that more charges would be filed after identifying people in amateur video and pictures taken from local media.

In the hours that followed Ohio State's 14-9 win over Michigan that assured the Buckeye football team a spot in college football's national championship game, police in riot gear -- armed with tear gas -- fought the crowds until the early hours of Sunday morning.

Shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday, police who were in riot gear joined firefighters as crowds of people threw bottles and rocks.

Cars were flipped on top of each other. Some were set on fire and their contents were thrown around the street.

Trash was set on fire and students, who were standing on their porches watching the events, were sprayed with tear gas to get them in the house.

"Those who were arrested will be immediately suspended from the university," OSU president Karen Holbrook said. "Those who engaged in criminal activity will face expulsion."

"If we are going to be national champions, and we are, then we need to act like it," Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman said.

Bill Hall, vice president of student affairs, said that he had never seen such behavior in his life or in his ten years at the university.

Both Coleman and Holbrook asked that anyone who has information about the riots to come forward and report what happened.

Firefighters said that 107 blazes were set Saturday night and Sunday morning. Twenty cars were toppled and nine of those were set on fire.

Street signs were torn down and at least seven streetlights were ripped from their bases.

Students whose cars were toppled or set on fire were outraged by their classmates' behavior.

"I think it's ludicrous that this happens on my own campus," student Amanda Purcell said. "Ohio State fans trashed my car because Ohio State wins."

Purcell said that police told her to file a report.

DISCUSS: Comment On The Riots

On Sunday morning, student Rebekah Jay surveyed the beer cans and trash strewn in her yard as she stood on her porch, hours after friends woke her up to warn her of the disturbance outside. She wasn't surprised.

"There were tons of people all over. There was a mob just flipping over every car. They knew something was going to happen," the 18-year-old from Cleveland said. "This is a crazy street."

Some residents and their out-of-town guests returned to find no cars at all. Tow trucks swarm the area every game day, and more than 100 were towed from illegal parking spots Saturday.

Abbey Bielek, 20, of Dayton, thought she hit a jackpot when she found a place to park on a busy campus border street just before a tailgate party.

When Bielek returned hours later, the entire block of cars was gone, she said while waiting to pay the $80 she needed to get her car out of the city's impounding lot.

A paper plate was taped over a hole in a window of the apartment of Mark Stevenson, where the 21-year-old student from Youngstown said someone had thrown a bottle through the glass.

"Everyone pretty much expected this. Everyone was drinking for like 12 hours," said Stevenson, who went to the game and brought home a piece of the sod as a souvenir.
