College Football | Florida State WR Preston Parker is arrested

Wide receiver Preston Parker's future at Florida State is in doubt after he was arrested Tuesday and charged with carrying a concealed weapon and possession of marijuana.

According to a probable-cause affidavit released by Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., police, Officer Shane Burns searched Parker's Dodge Charger and found 4.81 grams of marijuana, some of it stored under the dashboard alongside a .45-caliber automatic handgun. Burns had approached Parker after becoming suspicious of how Parker had been driving the vehicle.

The marijuana charge is a misdemeanor but the gun charge is a felony, which could put Parker's future at the school in jeopardy, based on athletic-department policy.

Parker, 21, the team's most valuable offensive player as a sophomore last season, was released on $5,000 bail.

Notes

• Defensive end Brady Smith of Boston College pleaded not guilty to charges of sexual assault and breaking and entering with an intent to commit a felony for an on-campus incident.

A Brighton District Court judge ordered Smith, 20, to be held on $50,000 cash bail and to stay away from the alleged victim and college property. Smith, of Finksburg, Md., has been in custody since his weekend arrest. BC officials have suspended him from classes and the team.

• Arizona State quarterback Rudy Carpenter is to have surgery today on the thumb on his throwing hand. "I should be throwing right around the beginning of June," he said.
