Two days after the first touchdown catch of his college career, University of Michigan freshman wide receiver Darryl Stonum was charged with drunken driving and driving on a suspended license.
Stonum, 18, was charged Monday in an incident that occurred at 3:30 a.m. on Sept. 28, according to records in Ann Arbor's 15th District Court.
Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez was not made available for comment Monday afternoon, but athletic department spokesman Bruce Madej said the coach "dealt with this immediately when it came to his attention."
Stonum was suspended by Rodriguez for the team's Oct. 4 game against Illinois for what the coach described at the time as a "violation of team rules." The wide receiver did not start in the Oct. 11 loss to Toledo, but he did play in that game.
For the season, the freshman from Texas has started seven of nine games and caught 10 passes for 123 yards. Stonum's 51-yard touchdown last Saturday against Purdue was the longest reception of his career.
He is scheduled to be arraigned Nov. 19.
