STARKVILLE, Miss. - A 20-year-old Mississippi State player has been suspended from the school and the team after his arrest on charges that included assault, authorities said.

Adron Chambers, a sophomore from Pensacola, was arrested by the University Police Department on Wednesday night.

The university said at the time of his arrest by campus police that Chambers was accused of attempted sexual battery, which it said was a felony. The athlete's attorney and officials in Oktibbeha County Justice Court said later the only charges on the books were misdemeanors - simple assault and indecent exposure.

Chambers, a reserve who has played in all five games, will remain on suspension pending an on-campus hearing
