Reaves arraigned on drunken driving, unlawful license charges

April 29, 2005

A 20-year-old MSU student and football player was arraigned Wednesday on charges of drunken driving and unlawfully displaying a license, court officials said.

Stephen Reaves, a sophomore who was backup quarterback for the MSU football team in fall 2004, was arraigned on the two misdemeanor charges.

The maximum penalty is 93 days in jail and/or $500 per misdemeanor charge, Assistant City Attorney Tom Yeadon said.

MSU Associate Athletics Director John Lewandowski would not detail what action will be taken.

"Coach Smith will take appropriate disciplinary action - we are not going to air our dirty laundry in public," Lewandowski said.

Reaves was previously charged with a minor in possession and a prohibited alcohol charge.

Reaves is the fifth football player of the semester to appear in court.

Last season, the Tampa, Fla., native played in five games, going 23-for-58 with 331 yards with two touchdowns. In his first career start last Sept. 11, he recorded the win, going 9-of-19 for 183 yards and a 44-yard touchdown pass in the win.

Coming into spring practice, which last four weeks and ended last Friday, Reaves was listed fourth on the quarterbacks depth chart.
