Michigan State star facing drunken driving charge
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State basketball star Korie Lucious faces a charge of operating while intoxicated.
The 20-year-old guard was pulled over early Monday near campus and his blood-alcohol level was 0.09 percent.
He has 10 days to be arraigned and hadn't as of mid-afternoon Tuesday.
Michigan State spokesman John Lewandowski says the school knows of the ticket and is gathering information.
