Michigan State junior defensive end Corey Freeman has been suspended for the Spartans' spring football game on Saturday after being ticketed on Monday for driving with a suspended license and not disclosing to officers that he was carrying a concealed weapon.
↵The driving on a suspended license charge is a misdemeanor and carries a maximum penalty of 93 days in jail and a $500 fine. Freeman could face additional fines for the concealed weapons charge, a civil infraction. However, he does have a permit for the gun.
↵Freeman was working as a reserve defensive end this spring. He made six tackles in 11 games last year for the Spartans (including a tackle for loss in the Capital One Bowl versus Alabama), after missing all of the 2009 season for academic reasons.
↵Michigan State associate athletic director John Lewandowski told the Lansing State Journal that Freeman was being suspended for the spring game for violating team rules but added nothing further.
↵Freeman has until May 5 to be arraigned on the charges.
