KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) -- A prosecutor says two Western Michigan football players accused of pushing their way into a woman's apartment and robbing her will be arraigned Monday on three criminal charges.
   
Kalamazoo County Prosecutor Jeff Getting says his office has authorized charges of armed robbery, first-degree home invasion and larceny in a building against linebacker Ron George and wide receiver Bryson White. Getting says if convicted on all the charges, they could face life in prison. The two remain in custody pending their arraignment.
   
Getting says he doesn't know if either has hired an attorney.
   
The two men are accused of pushing their way into an apartment about 9 p.m. Friday and robbing a woman using a gun and knife.
   
Western Michigan coach P.J. Fleck has suspended both players from the team.
