EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan State wide receiver Macgarrett Kings Jr. has another arrest for drunkenness.

East Lansing court records say the 21-year-old from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was arrested Saturday on charges that include being drunk and disorderly and interfering with police. He was arraigned Monday.

Police said they couldn't provide details on the arrest Wednesday night.

Spartans football coach Mark Dantonio issued a statement Wednesday evening saying the team is "aware of the incident." Dantonio says all players "are held to a high standard, and individuals will be held accountable for their actions."

Kings was arrested in April 2014 for driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.23 percent, nearly triple the legal limit of 0.08 percent.

He pleaded guilty and received probation. Michigan State suspended him from spring football last year.
