’NOLES WR SUSPENDED

- — The Associated Press

Florida State receiver Da’Vante Phillips is suspended after being charged on five felony counts related to fraud.

Phillips, a junior from Miami, was booked into Leon County jail on Friday before posting bail and being released. The Leon County sheriff’s office said Phillips faces four felony counts of cashing or depositing items with intent to defraud, and one felony count of grand theft of more than $300 and less than $5,000.

University policy states though that an athlete is indefinite­ly suspended while facing a felony charge. Phillips had taken part in the Seminoles’ first three preseason practices.
