Michigan Wolverines sophomore wide receiver Grant Perry was arraigned Wednesday in an East Lansing District Court on one felony count of assaulting, battering, resisting or obstructing an officer, two misdemeanor charges of sexual assault and one count of underage drinking, according to Christopher Haxel of the Lansing State Journal.

He was accused of touching a female outside an East Lansing bar in the early hours of Oct. 15.
