FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The starting running back for North Dakota
State University is requesting jury trials in state district court
on two charges of driving with a suspended license.
The Forum newspaper reports that Sam Ojuri was stopped by police
on June 5 and July 14.
Both of the charges against him are misdemeanors punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Ojuri has run into trouble in the past.
The junior from Barrington, Ill., pleaded guilty in January to an alcohol offense and was fined $100.
He was suspended from the team in spring 2010 for an undisclosed violation of team rules and reinstated in January 2011.
NDSU is the defending NCAA Football Championship Subdivision
champion.
