East Lansing — Michigan State linebacker Itayvion Brown was arraigned Friday on gun charges and has been dismissed from the team.
Brown is facing a felony charge of carrying a concealed weapon and a misdemeanor firearms possession while under the influence, stemming from an incident on March 17.
“Itayvion Brown was dismissed from the Michigan State football team last month and did not participate in spring practice,” a Michigan State team spokesman said in a written statement. “Previously, he had been indefinitely suspended from team activities beginning in late February.”
Brown appeared virtually on Friday before Judge Moly E.
