MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — While West Virginia receiver Marcus Simms awaits his DUI hearing in Monongalia County, charges from a previous DUI arrest in Maryland were dismissed, court documents show.
Mountaineers coach Dana Holgorsen suspended Simms for the season opener against Virginia Tech after the sophomore receiver was stopped in Morgantown on Aug. 13 and admitted to a sheriff’s deputy that he had smoked marijuana.
Simms, 19, also was charged with driving on a revoked license, stemming from his May arrest in Prince George’s County, Md., — a charge West Virginia’s coaches reportedly were not made aware of, sources said.
