CLEVELAND -- Four of the 15 fans arrested Sunday at the Cleveland Browns' game have pleaded innocent, and the team says more arrests are to come.

Browns spokesman Todd Stewart said four more fans were charged Wednesday and that the team has "leads on probably eight to 10 people that we are pursuing."

Hundreds of fans hurled plastic bottles and other objects onto the field after an official's overturned call late in a 15-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Members of the Browns' security team are reviewing videotapes of the game, interviewing season-ticket holders and taking tips from callers, Stewart said.

"Our plan is anybody who is found throwing things on the field will lose their season ticket privileges," he said.

On Tuesday, four men arrested at the game pleaded innocent and posted bonds.

Joseph E. Bradesku, 21, of University Heights, faces the most serious charge, assault on a police officer. Bradesku is accused of punching a policewoman in the face and head-butting her.
