Report: Michigan State's Macgarrett Kings Jr. charged with 2 misdemeanors
Michigan State WR Macgarrett Kings Jr. has been reportedly charged with two misdemeanors after he was arrested early Saturday morning.
Kings, who will be a senior receiver in the fall, has been charged with drunken and disorderly conduct and obstructing, resisting, hindering or assaulting a police officer, according to East Lansing 54-B District Court documents. Both are misdemeanors punishable by up to 93 days in jail and $500 in fines.
Kings, 21, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was arrested in East Lansing at 2:36 a.m. on Saturday, according to court documents. MSU coach Mark Dantonio could not be reached immediately for comment on the status of Kings with the team, which starts spring football March 24.
It's not the first time that Kings has been arrested around this time of year as a member of Michigan State's football team, either. He was arrested in April of 2014 for DUI and OWIafter his blood alcohol level tested at 0.234 on a breath test. He missed much of Michigan State's spring football season and was sentenced to 13 months probation in the summer following a plea deal.
If he's convicted of the charge of drunken and disorderly conduct, it's a violation of his probation. As part of the terms of his probation, per the Free-Press, he was prohibited from consuming alcohol.
Kings had 29 catches for 404 yards in 2014. Before his 21st birthday in September, Kings said he wanted a touchdown or two against Wyoming. He didn't even get a catch, though he had two carries for two yards.
