He was arrested Monday night. The arrest marks the first since six others were jailed the night of the three-hour melee, when a mob of more than 1,000 started fires, broke windows and hurled trash at police.

Neeley, who is not a Purdue student, was visiting with friends on campus the night Purdue was defeated by Notre Dame in the title game, Capt. Steven Dietrich of the Purdue police department said. Dietrich said the Web site has recorded 22,819 hits since the images were posted last Thursday, and that about one-third of those images have been identified. However, Dietrich said there are no guarantees that those who identify suspects won't have to appear as witnesses should a case go to trial. About a dozen people whose images appear on the Web site have turned themselves in to Purdue and West Lafayette police and reported being part the crowd.
