Stonum, a senior-to-be from Stafford, Texas, was arrested early last Friday morning after a traffic stop in Ann Arbor. On Saturday, he was suspended indefinitely by Michigan football coach Brady Hoke.

A second offense of an operating while intoxicating charge is punishable by up to one year in jail.

In September 2008, Stonum’s freshman year at Michigan, police charged him with operating a vehicle while visibly impaired and he was subsequently jailed for three nights in July 2010 for multiple probation violations.

In a statement announcing his suspension, Hoke left the door open for Stonum’s return to the team saying he must first "fulfill all his commitments he has to the legal system and our program."
