MSU WR Macgarrett Kings Pled Guilty to DUI in July

Submitted by BlueCube on

 

Michigan State junior wide receiver Macgarrett Kings Jr. was arrested and charged with driving under the influence shortly before being suspended from the football team this spring, according to Ingham County court records.

 

Kings was arrested April 6 for driving with a blood alcohol content of more than .17. He was sentenced on July 7 to 13 months probation and a $750 fine after pleading guilty to the misdemeanor.

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio announced April 15 that Kings had been suspended for the duration of spring practices. He was reinstated before the start of fall practice.

Dantonio indicated last Thursday that Kings had met the requirements to put himself back into good standing with the team.

"He's a playmaker and he's doing what he needs to do,'' Danntonio said, asked for an update on how Kings was doing. "He's in the mix (at receiver) and he's done the right things.''

Kings is not even of legal drinking age! There has been endless coverage of the Glasgow situation since it happened and this is literally the first time I've heard anything about the Kings incident. Glasgow was of legal drinking age. Is MSU covering things up? Is the media covering for MSU? I honestly would like to know what's the reason for the undeniable difference in reporting. The reason for Bulloughs suspension has been covered up and all the media just gives a free pass.

0.17 BAC would meet the criteria of the "super drunk " law which calls for stiffer penalties I believe.
