Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli faces a burglary charge in connection with a theft at a campus fraternity house in late January.

The Lane Country District Attorney's office said Masoli and former Oregon receiver Garrett Embry have each been charged with one count of burglary in the second degree.

Masoli and Embry face arraignment in Lane County Circuit Court on Friday afternoon. The district attorney's office did not respond to a phone call seeking further comment on the case.

Running back LaMichael James is also expected in court Friday on separate charges.

Coach Chip Kelly said he will make a disciplinary decision soon.

"I am carefully considering the latest news concerning Jeremiah Masoli and LaMichael James, and will make a decision regarding disciplinary action on Friday, March 12," Kelly said.

A fraternity member reported that Masoli and Embry, who was dismissed from the Ducks for violating team rules, stole two computers and a guitar from the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house on Jan. 25.

Masoli has had previous run-ins with the law, according to the Eugene Register-Guard.

In November, the newspaper reported that Masoli served a three-month sentence at a California juvenile detention center in 2005 for his role in several armed robberies.
