South Carolina defensive end Monteque Rhames II has been suspended by the program after being charged with carrying weapons on school property and obstructing justice, according to Emily Adams of the Greenville News.
Rhames, a member of South Carolina's 2023 class, was booked into Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center at midnight Friday.
"Our student-athletes know what is expected of them," head coach Shane Beamer said in a statement. "They know that both the university and the football program will hold them accountable for their actions and decisions."
South Carolina has also suspended freshman safety Cameron Upshaw and redshirt freshman defensive back Anthony Rose.
