(AP) Pro basket-ball star Norm Van Lier has been convicted of resisting arrest in connection with an altercation with police in nearby Midland but acquitted on two other charges. A Beaver County Court jury handed down the split verdict Wednesday night, after deliberating for about five hours. Van Lier, a guard for the Chicago Bulls of the National Basketball Association, was found innocent of assault and battery and riot charges.

Sentencing was deferred. Under Pennsylvania law, a conviction for resisting arrt'st is a misdemeanor and carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison or a $500 fine or both. Verdicts were also returned involv. ing six other defendants in the case, which stemmed from an alleged brawl at the police station in Midland, Van Lier's hometown. urHlerwent lutu- las' December far removal of a benign St.
