A SWAT team descended upon the home of Steven Warda Goria Monday and he was taken into custody after a two-hour standoff.  Goria was one of 10 individuals implicated in a shocking point shaving scheme at the University of San Diego. 

Former San Diego star Brandon Johnson, the school’s all time leading scorer, was also charged with running a sports betting business and attempting to fix the outcome of games as part of an indictment unsealed on Monday. 

From ESPN.com:

According to the San Diego Tribune, Goria refused to cooperate with authorities, and a SWAT team was called about 9 a.m., which resulted in the evacuation of some residents. Goria surrendered to authorities about 10:40 a.m.

The sports bribery case actually arose from an investigation into a marijuana distribution operation based in San Diego.

The University is said to be cooperating with law enforcement and was unaware of what had transpired. 

Each of the individuals face a maximum of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
