NORMAL – Illinois State football coach Brock Spack has announced running back Marshaun Coprich has been suspended indefinitely following his arrest on drug charges last week.
“Marshaun has been suspended, effective immediately,” Spack said in a statement. “Though we are disappointed that he is in this situation, we will let the process continue before a final decision is made.”
According to McLean County court records, Coprich, 20, was arrested last week on a charge of unlawful delivery of marijuana. He allegedly tried to sell between 10 and 30 grams of the drug to an undercover agent with Illinois State Police Task Force Six on April 16. He was released from custody on his own recognizance and faces a May 22 court date.
The offense carries a possible sentence of anywhere from probation to three years in the Illinois Department of Corrections if convicted.
Coprich, a native of Victorville, Calif., was a first-team All-American during his junior season in leading the Redbirds to a trip to the FCS Championship Game. He led FCS in rushing yards and touchdowns.
